F ensure Versus Microsoft Security Essentials

Similar Questions

• If running Microsoft Security Essentials do I need run Windows Defender? Is the reason why I can't start the Defender-Essentials?

  I use Microsoft Security Essentials on Vista x 32.  Security Center tells me to start Windows Defender.  I click to start, but he tells me that I have to restart my computer or manually start Defender myself.  I go to services, and it does not advocate.  It basically tells me that my system has no need currently the program or there is another reason, it does not start.  Responses tells me that for the error code of course, I met error 0x800106ba later Code it tells me to try to start it manually if it doesn't work I have uninstall Defender and need to reinstall it.  Yet when I go to uninstall programs, Defender is not listed.  I tried to install it again because it is not listed, I thought I could.  When I went to install it, it-error telling me that I have already as it came pre-installed with Vista.

  Now, my question.  Do I really need Defender since I use Microsoft Security Essentials?  Is in fact an older version almost essential?  Why it tells me to start it if it is not needed? And if necessary, why it won't start

• Uninstalling Norton to get microsoft security essentials

  I would use microsoft security essentials, but currently norton on my new processor.  The trial version is over so I am currently unprotected.  I don't understand how to go to add/remove programs and uninstall.  Last time, I uninstalled a program of security, he seemed to randomly take important files with it.  Is there something specific I need to do to ensure that I won't screw up my cpu when I remove norton?  I am running windows 7 on a new processor, do not know if you need to know that or not.  Thank you.

  Here's what I use and recommend:

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw
  at home. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx also proved very reliable and
  compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields isn't necessary except leave Standard, Web and network
  running.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the LEFT of the + at the bottom right)
  Internet Explorer)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not (except files, Web, network, & behavior)
  -double click the Orange in the Notification area - real-time shields - click on the shield that you want
  stop-STOP. Stop the Orange icon to display an indicator of error - click on the Orange icon-
  Right click - settings - high status bar - uncheck shields you disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network. (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - cancel)
  the ones you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs.
  It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see
  How to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and it would be
  UPDATE of the unusual with Avast and Prevx operational except for an occasional low level (not much) cookie,
  It and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note since I
  started using this configuration.

• Is it possible to stop or interrupt the Microsoft Security Essentials instead of uninstall / reinstall whenever there is a problem?

  I'm on my computer Toshiba Satellite phone, Windows Vista Home Premium x 86 32-bit Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5250 1.80 gh 2 GB RAM with Service Pack 2, when using windows firewall regular and Malwarebytes anti-malware.

  I am trying to get into Windows Defender to remove the stuff start menu because my computer is running way to slow down. About 6 months ago I had a problem with Microsoft Security Essentials by turning and stay Orange (at risk) and say it wasn't scanning, but it has been. At the time, I was not aware that Windows Defender would be put off. Now, it seems that it is disabled automatically. There no way to disable MSE, if I try to change my start up programs in Defender, or even when I am trying to download programs, I always end up having to uninstall MSE, download the program and then reinstall MSE. It takes a long time and really makes me want to go back to AVG or even a different program. Help and faq are unclear and seem to leave a lot of information on. I left on the 'default' settings, for when something is happening, but I'm not quite sure this is the correct setting.

  I need instructions in plain language, and it's really hard to find. Since I left my computer unprotected for download or try to change things, I'm afraid that something got. I just went through a clean installation due a person with remote access in my system and I lost a lot of pictures, records, etc., I'm always worried about security now and don't know if I should stay with MSE or not.  I used the care a before Scan and he had difficulty my registry keys, that having people tell me I shouldn't have let microsoft fix my computer. (this was before the clean install). It's just confused and contradictory and not enough information. Windows Defender has a 'stop', does MSE?

  This is probably not the right area, but I specifically ensured that when I signed into hotmail the box 'Save password' was unchecked. I am registered on another forum, then signing in this one, he had my password registered and logged in me full?  Same thing with contacts - my old msn contacts have a way for this 'hacker' enter my computer through MSN messenger, he gave her the permission above my permission admin, so I couldn't get out. Although I asked that the old account closed a bunch of time - I guess there is still there waiting for like a year? Now I have a new email in hotmail, the clean computer, and the dang thing starts my old top loading details is on his own... - Anyway, my main concern is can I pause or stop the MSE? Can I use the Scan a care after I had no protection? and is there a place explaining MSE in regular normal verbiage with more information then what is on the help and information and download page?

  Thanks for your time,

  Nanette

  Original title: what is error code ox80073601

  Hi DavidValentine,

  Check that you have removed all other anti-malware real-time products that were already installed on your PC, including free products / trial that were installed when the PC was purchased (Norton, McAfee, TM, AVG, OneCare, Malware bytes (paid), etc.).

  Note: If you use more than one antivirus or antispyware program at the same time, your PC may know a decrease in performance, become unstable, or restart unexpectedly. Before you install Microsoft Security Essentials, or if you want to solve problems with Microsoft Security Essentials, including the update of issues, you must first completely remove your PC Internet security programs.

  You may have to uninstall/reinstall MSE. You should be able to remove MSE of the Control Panel. Uninstall problems see:http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protect_start/uninstalling-mse/a63b8c4b-58ed-437e-8086-fa08d80725a4

  Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• is to have sufficient protection so much as my one and only security software Microsoft Security Essentials

  l download Microsoft Security Essentials for my windows 7 but later unintentionally downloaded McAfee Security scan plus.

  is there a conflict? should I just uninstall it, therefore less heavy for my pc?
  Thanks in advance

  Don't know why this link does not work... McAfee must have fired or their FAQ is under review.

  The Development should work... and you can uninstall/remove the application after that you are through using it.

  Here are a few suggestions of Stephen Boots, moderator of the MSE Forum about fake antivirus programs and prevention measures General malware:

  Unfortunately, this type of malware attacks are difficult to follow because they fool you by letting them install. They usually come to an infected web site and usually an advertisement. You get a pop up of infection and click on it to close the window pop up that allows you to install infection.  They can also be provided in a "drive-by" mode without any action required by the user due to the system being unpatched, any security software is running.

  When you encounter one of these fake virus pop - up during navigation, immediately do the following:

  -Do not touch any window of browser to close or navigate away.
  -Immediately, press Ctrl-Shift-Esc and bring up the Task Manager and end by force all instances of iexplore.exe, if you use Internet Explorer, or the executable for the browser you are using.
  -or-
  -Go to start/stop and reboot the PC without touching the browser windows.
  -If you used the Task Manager to close the browser instances, restart the machine.
  -Then go in the Internet/Panel control Options and delete all temporary Internet files and cookies. If you use another browser, open the browser settings to do the same - to delete the local cached files and cookies.
  -Perform a full scan with your anti-malware program.

  The steps above should prevent infection taking root.

  In addition to using an anti-malware program, the following recommendations will help to protect the PC from infection:

  S ' ensure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.

  S ' ensure that all critical updates or important, including service packs for the operating system and programs are installed from Microsoft Update (Windows Update).

  -Make sure that Internet Explorer is version 8 or higher and put up-to-date with all the patches.

  -In Internet Explorer 8 or 9, use the SmartScreen filter.

  -Make sure that the Internet IE security settings are at least put to fire medium-high (default).

  -Turn on the pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer.

  -On Vista and Windows 7 make sure that thatUser Account Control (UAC) and doesn't work with elevated privileges.

  -Make sure that automatic updates of Windows are set to notify at least, but the preferred setting is to download and install automatically. If you update manually, be sure to update as soon as possible after being informed of updates available.

  -Make sure that installed applications, including Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash and Java are at their latest versions. Many vendors are regularly updated and fixes security vulnerabilities.

  -Never click through links from unknown sources and be careful, even if they are from a "reliable".

  -Do not open attachments in unsolicited e-mail.

  Good luck...

• Firefox opens, running Microsoft Security Essentials &amp; Malwarebytes, nothing coming.

  I have 18 installed Firefox. This is the third time that Firefox has stopped opening.

  I ran Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials all three times and each time found any problems. The only thing that worked was (using Revo Uninstaller) uninstalling and reinstalling.

  It has worked well for three weeks and stopped opening again last night.

  Oh, and attempt to use the mozilla help screens in Internet Explorer is a nightmare...

  And I tried to use the troubleshooter below, IE won't let either.

  One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
