  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:

  has anyone who downloaded microsoft security and have it ruin their screen

  Hello

  There are a few things you can try:

  Change the resolution of the screen;

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

  If that fixed it, go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

  Then try to change the screen resolution.

  Or do a restore of the system before it is passed (which will also remove MSE!).

• 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...

  can anyone tell how to prevent him from returning?

  Thank you very much.

  The safety of MS Scanner will not prevent your system from being infected again - you need to use another product to help with that.

  No single analytical tool seems to know everything, so it is prudent to use more than one.

  Microsoft is not in cases of prevention, detection or removal of malware - that aren't their specialty.  There are other companies where the removal, prevention and detection of malware is their specialty and that's all they do all day long.

  Why are we expect or ask Microsoft to surpass in the areas where it's not their job?

  We do not know enough about your system for now, so see if you can get it cleaned up and stabilized first and then decide what to do next.

  If you still think your system may be achieved a malware, I would do these things before you start any troubleshooting effort:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Download and run Hitman Pro here and during installation to be 100% sure to refuse the installation of toolbars, decline any e-mail options, nothing to do with Bing or MSN, perform a scan time, accept no e-mail and activate the free license:

  http://www.SurfRight.nl/en/downloads/ (make sure you get the free version)

  Download and run TDSSKiller from Kaspersky:
  http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

  The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

  If you still think that you have any questions, then proceed as follows:

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

• 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.

  If this is not the case, try a system restore:

• 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
