• 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

• Removal of Microsoft Security Essentials

  How can I remove Microsoft Security Essentials of programs on my XP computer?  It is in conflict with my anti-virus.

  Hello HCG19,

  Microsoft Security Essential is "also" an anti virus application. It is not wise to run two applications on the same machine antivirus anti. The result is, as you've found, a conflict.

  MSE can be removed by opening the control panel and then clicking Add/Remove Programs icon. Scroll to the element MSE and click it to start the uninstallation.

  Hi Louise,.

  This problem may occur if there is no third-party software installed on the computer or due to corrupted settings of Microsoft Security Essentials.

  1 did you install another antivirus on the computer software before?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer before this problem?

  3. at the guarded computer turned on at the scheduled time?

  4. what version of anti-virus software do you use?

  Method 1:
  I suggest you uninstall if there is no third-party software installed on the computer. Uninstall the third-party antivirus software, using the removal tool on the manufacturer's Web site.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Security Essentials and check if it helps.

  See the article for more information.

• Installation of Iolo System Mechanic error message: cannot install because there is a conflic by Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Microsoft Security Essentials has been uninstalled and I can not find remnants of anywhere I can think of research. Something is always running in the background or otherwise to prevent this installation. I recently had other problems installation, update to install 4.5 etc.; but, despite this, I had to go into services and manually start the Microsoft Live just before you install something. I'm puzzled as to what part of the software MS Essentials is hiding somewhere. It works almost like a virus...

  Have you tried installs with a beginning of 'Clean' of XP using msconfig etc.

  Any help appreciated

• Microsoft Security Essentials - turn

  How do I temporarily stop Microsoft Security Essentials and then turn back on when I choose to do?

  I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

  Hello

  This should help you:

  'How to temporarily disable Microsoft Security Essentials'

  http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2025707/how-to-temporarily-disable-Microsoft-security-essentials.html

  

  1. find the Security Essentials icon in your system tray (usually, it is represented by a small green house with a flag on top). Right-click and choose Open.

  2. click on the settings tab.

  3. click on real-time protection.

  4 uncheck turn on real-time protection (recommended).

  5. click on the save changes button.

  So, this is the equivalent of switching Security Essentials 'OFF '. Do that, then come back to what you're trying to troubleshoot and see if it solves the problem. (If so, well, it's a whole other can of worms.)

  When you are finished troubleshooting steps, repeat 4 and 5 (this time checking the box, natch) to rekindle Security Essentials.

  See you soon.
