  • Disable defender and Security Essentials due to conflicts, has blocked access and control other programs.

    Hello, I use Windows 7 on a HP G60 laptop. I disabled Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials because I started running free Panda and Malwarebytes Antimalware version. Now an error window Defender blocking access and control of a large number of programs, the window message trying to force me to turn Defender. Disabling Security Essentials is causing other things to not work. I can not yet re - turn on Defender, if I try clicking on the link in the error window, it will not restart, expires.  Tried to turn it back on using the Task Manager, but there is no response at all if I click Start. Access to Services and programs in the start Panel are all both blocked by Defender error window.  I actually want defender and Security Essentials, because they are redundant and are in conflict with other programs I am running, but apparently they cannot be disabled without blocking access to my computer. I thought it was harmful to run all these programs of security in conflict between them, now I can't use my computer at all. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

    Thanks much for the advice. I have a few other questions. Defender is not separated from the essential? Then uninstall Security Essentials would have no effect on the Defender isn't it? My problem is that Defender deactivation now blocks access to many other programs with a Defender error window.  I read that Essentials was supposed to replace defender and Defender should have been stopped or disabled when Essentials has been installed. Is this correct? I didn't, got them both running.  When I installed Panda, I got a notification from Windows on the conflict and choose which program to use. Although I chose my own safety programs at the time, which was never disabled Defender or kept from running. So I finally did it manually by accessing the properties in Services to change the startup type to disable, which is when all the trouble started.

  • How can I get Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus security?

    After another year of Norton 360, I got the stupid games of Symantec, tired of the ot, uninstalled and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials.  I restarted my computer (Dell Dimension 8200 running Windows XP Pro 2002).  After that, I ran services.msc impatiently as my program of service to show that my antivirus security worked and I had nothing to fear.  Imgine my grief when my service center reported that my computer was always subject to viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other forms of malware.  I thought, perhaps, I had reduced the activity of some vital download too quickly and, therefore, have prevented a good download.  So I tried again, this time with a lot more patience...   This time, I received a message that the program was already on my computer, asking if I wanted to replace it with the new download.  Because the first time I acted in a hurry, I replied that I tried the second download try replacing the Lerna, this time with a lot more patience.  There is no apparent change that showed the Security Center: no protection against the virus.  How can I get Microsoft Security Essentials to act as my antivirus program and my Security Center to recognize it as such?

    Hi David,

    Glad to hear thiings are better. Do not forget to chek that MSE will automatically update the definitions that every 24-48 hours and regular tests are carried out. Also suggest that you go to settings > default Actions and change to quarantine all. don't forget to 'Save changes'. This is recommended to avoid problems such as potentially unwanted programs and the removal of the odd false positive.

    You are definitely not alone in your skepticism about Norton and other paid for antimalware solutions.

    Feel free to mark my initial response as response and/or useful.

    Have a day without malware.

    Kind regards
