  When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

  also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

• Should I deactivate Windows Defender running Microsoft Security Essentials?

  I installed Microsoft Security Essentials on vista and I wanted to know if I should keep Windows Defender on or turn it off?

  Windows Defender must stop automatically when you install MSE, but if not then I would recommend do you: MSE already has Defender engine everything in it, and it's not great to run both at the same time.

• 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

• Error code 0 x 80073601: cannot run or uninstall Microsoft security essentials or install new version

  cannot run or uninstall Microsoft security essentials or install new version

  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.

• Firefox opens, running Microsoft Security Essentials & 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.
