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.

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... -

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.

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. Hitman Pro Kickstart is available as a 30 day trial version.Kind regards... -

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.

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...

Satellite Pro A300: Problem with Microsoft Security Essentials
Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with XP SP3 and now deleted AVG Free and installed Microsoft Security Essentialls (MSE).
The result is after installing MSE and begin my laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen and will not respond to the inputs of the mouse or the keyboard.
In aid of F12 to get my startup options allowed me to try the Safe Mode and last known good Configuration etc but they all show the same functionality, IE freeze when the desktop appears. XP seems to be operating in the background, for example system clock stays on time, "notice" system if its wifi singal is removed etc.
Just to make the day to try to do an OS reinstall pressing 0 to on has no effect - system just boots in XP - so I can't my recovery partition!
I have now is not a HW problem as the /kbd cursor works if I boot into a non-windows system, for example UBUNTU CD
Any suggestions welcome - such as can I download a recovery on antother PC CD and burn a recovery CD?
Hello
I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=58But this would format the system partition :(
In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.
