• Firewall: I just downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. Now, I get my Firewall is not on Windows messages.

  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.

• installed Windows 7. Rid of Kaspersky and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. Good choice? And do I need anything else?

  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...

  "Do I have to manually disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials?
  A: If Microsoft Security Essentials did not automatically disable Windows Defender in Vista or Windows 7, you must turn off to avoid conflicts. Windows Defender can't be uninstalled Vista or Windows 7.
  If Microsoft Security Essentials does not automatically uninstall Windows Defender on XP, you must manually uninstall Windows Defender through Control Panel of configuration/Add / Remove programs. »

• Windows Defender does not work with Microsoft Security Essentials

  I just want to confirm I'm sure I see Windows Defender listed on the site alongside the Microsoft Security Essentials in a list of items to choose from - if we choose security while we can not run the Defender is that correct? Vista runs on this toshiba that has been in place. Windows Defender is not running but essentials runs with full daily verified updates scans and other readers of both records - the concern, it is that be enough security we should do other things regarding the last blackened on computers, we have seen happening with friends and the fake software updates We have seen with the neighbors not accepting real software, they thought were updated - but in the end a fake. They were running microsoft security databases, but didn't yet these things happen - no pleasure with the laptop still being down in a different place/city. Any info would be nice to hear, clear terms, just trying to help people close to home and at a distance from time to time thanks Jen

  I'll simplify the answer...

  1 Microsoft Security Essentials has his own Defender. Running 2 defenders only create conflicts.  MSE will stop Windows Defender.

  2. no security program is sufficient for protection. Be careful, to surfing and what to download.

  3. you can install "we demand" programs such as Spybot Search Destry and Malwarebytes. They do not run until you 'open '.
  I have Avast Home Edition for "real-time" protection, and I have Spybot Search and Destroy more Malwarebytes.

  For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

• Is it necessary to download Microsoft Security Essentials despite having Windows Defenfer?

  Original title: I advocate for windows on the laptop should I download MWE

  I need virus protection for laptop and thought why not free. I can DL the Microsoft Essentials when I already have the Defender?

  If you win 8 and defender, he is basically Microsoft Security Essentials.  It uses the same technology and you can not run both.

• Layout of biased e-mail. Failed to open an email. Windows Vista Home Basic. Installed Microsoft Security Essentials.

  When you open the e-mail, the arrow cursor has the blue circle that runs continuously.  There are some letters lapping on the e-mail page.   No old or new emails cannot be opened.   Two weeks ago, I installed Microsoft Security Essentials and this problem has been resolved until today; the same problem to access old e-mail is back.

  Try to compact and repair the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).   Then in security essentials exclude the eml files of research (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3), because this results in a mismatch between the WinMail database and what is actually in the message store, generating problems such as you see.

  See if that fixes the problem.  You can also try to remove your e-mail account and then closing and reopening of Winmail opener and then add it again.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for information about the message from WinMail store organization.

• 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
