Download Microsoft Security Essentials for another computer
I'm trying to fix a friends computer, but the internet is now down. However, there is no anti-virus installed. I want to download Microsoft Security Essentials on a USB key so that I can install it on his computer.
I have no win 8.1 to see what is happening, but go here, scroll down to 'English' and use the drop-down list on the right to get the XP version: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-all-versions

Why am I not able to download microsoft security essentials for my Surface RT
Downloads of microsoft security essentials, but am told that my device does not accept this app
You can install apps from the store on SurfaceRT, so any software that you are trying to download from the internet or USB does not work.
Microsoft built aspects of Security Essentials in Windows RT, so there is no need to download the software. Every day, I receive an update of the Defender through Windows Update definitions.

Download Microsoft security essentials problems
I reformatted my HD for windows svc pack 3 and tried to download Microsoft security essentials. Rec'd a msg that I need to activate my windows reinstallation, but my computer does not accept my original product key of my lable on the computer. suggestions how to proceed?
I moved your post on the forum to activate XP because this isn't a question of MSE.
The label on your PC is an OEM version of the operating system. You must use an OEM installation CD or the key will not work. If you have used this PC's drive, the key should work and you may have mistyped the key.

I just downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. Now, I get my Firewall is not on Windows messages.
Question 1: What is Microsoft Security Essentials has a firewall? If so, then I know that I don't need the Windows Firewall.
Question 2: if not, then I have another problem. I tried to activate Windows Firewall and got a message saying that the Firewall Service cannot be turned on. Why do I get this message?
Thanks for your help.
Lynn
Microsoft Security Essentials NOT came with the firewall, you can use the Windows Firewall in your firewall. You must use the Windows Firewall.
For the error on the Windows Firewall, take a look on:

In this article, you may need to change a registry value, very careful when you do this. I suggest to backup registry before trying to solve.

Just installed Windows 7. Rid of Kaspersky and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. Good choice? And do I need anything else?
Kaspersky is a great AV program But for a free option, MSE is also very good. Nothing will catch 100% of things, but MSE is one of the few that do a great job!
You may download Malwarebytes and run the free version, make a weekly scan. These two together can usually keep your system very clean and safe.But do not forget also to navigate safely. Do not download random programs or open attachments that aren't expected, etc... -

Impossible to download Microsoft Security Essentials
I tried to download updates for Microsoft Security Essentials and get the message "download virus confined and was eliminated. Also tried to delete the program and re-enstall, but could not remove. Then tried to download a new Microsoft Security Essentials and again got message "contains viruses has been removed.
The program worked fine several weeks ago!
Your PC is infected with the new variant of Sirefef AKA Zero access.
Suggest you use HitmanPro Kickstart, which should remove this malware and fix changes made to the computer by the malware: http://www.surfright.nl/en/kickstart , you must use an uninfected computer to download it to a flash drive and then follow the specific directions on how to run the program on the infected computer.

I removed Bitdefender because it slowed my computer down a lot. I then installed Windows Defender and updated and scanned the computer (no problem) and said it was "protect my computer". But the Windows Security Center does not see any antivirus, until I installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Why? And are two antivirus programs now runmning together?
Microsoft Security Essentials need to uninstall Windows Defender when it is installed. If youshould not uninstall via Add/Remove programs. See the following topics:
Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials
I hope this helps.

Cannot download Microsoft Security Essentials. Running Win 7 Pro
Running Win 7. Uninstalled all anti-virus software (I think). Has tried various ways to download MSE, but get the message "Windows Program Compatibility Mode not supported by this program. 0x8004FF71 error code.
Help, please... I'M RUNNING WITHOUT PROTECTION.
Anyway Panda should be uninstalled before moving to 10 then reinstalled after,
Personally, I'd skip any upgrade if you really count on a stable system in which 10 is no where near stable like 7
Most of the time victory-10 requires a facility clean, just to be in a stable way
This kind of stability will be lost soon after loading the programs...

Should I Norton and Microsoft Security Essentials Virus protection?
I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials for a long time; but I keep getting popup windows telling me that they cannot provide protection against viruses because they did not have a virus to day something - or - others.
Two windows appear, one after the other, both have an error number. If I followed the instructions I always come back to a selection of Norton anti packages of virus which must be repaid, which I don't want. That's why I installed Microsoft Security Essentials, because I was sick of seeing these things and try to follow the instructions always with the same results.
Recently, I clicked on something in laptops and has seen a long list of time that requests had been made by Norton get me their updates - it was very very long.
I don't know what it is all about - what it means? I find it more than an irritation. These pop-ups will light up whenever I start the computer. Can I stop this? Do I have Norton and Microsoft - I realized that any previous protection system would be obsolete when I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials.
Hello
NO.
You must have AN antivirus installed
If you have more then AN installed anti-virus you will most likely system issues because there is a conflict between norton and MSE
Uninstall norton using the below norton removal tool
