I have Microsoft Security Essentials, but FixIt Center says I have no firewall.
When I use the fix it Center, it indicates there is no firewall. even if I have Microsoft Security Essentials and everything is green. It's strange, why
This happens to you?
Hello
MSE is not a firewall. Check the status of your firewall with control - firewall Panel Windows.
Please mark it as useful or response, as appropriate.

I HAVE MOZZILA FIRE FOX AS MY BROWSER ~ I'VE BEEN USING MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS ~; BUT I INSTALLED GUARD PROTECTION NOW, BUT CONSTANT FEELING I ONLY INSTALLED SOFTWARE, YOU CAN ME SAY WHAT I HAVE TO DO AND WHICH IS THE BEST PROTECTOR
You really should only use an antivirus product that use an Analyzer to access because they can collide so slow the system down and jeopardize the protection they offer. Manually run standalone detectors are acceptable if used with care and sparingly.
As for the one which should not be to make a specific recommendation that they have different characteristics that can meet your requirements. Personally, I used AVG, Avast and MSE and now confine myself to the last as a free application base.
Oh and do not use capitals unless necessary, it is equivalent to shouting on the net.

Satellite Pro A300: Problem with Microsoft Security Essentials
Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with XP SP3 and now deleted AVG Free and installed Microsoft Security Essentialls (MSE).
The result is after installing MSE and begin my laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen and will not respond to the inputs of the mouse or the keyboard.
In aid of F12 to get my startup options allowed me to try the Safe Mode and last known good Configuration etc but they all show the same functionality, IE freeze when the desktop appears. XP seems to be operating in the background, for example system clock stays on time, "notice" system if its wifi singal is removed etc.
Just to make the day to try to do an OS reinstall pressing 0 to on has no effect - system just boots in XP - so I can't my recovery partition!
I have now is not a HW problem as the /kbd cursor works if I boot into a non-windows system, for example UBUNTU CD
Any suggestions welcome - such as can I download a recovery on antother PC CD and burn a recovery CD?
Hello
I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=58But this would format the system partition :(
In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.

Uninstalling Norton to get microsoft security essentials
I would use microsoft security essentials, but currently norton on my new processor. The trial version is over so I am currently unprotected. I don't understand how to go to add/remove programs and uninstall. Last time, I uninstalled a program of security, he seemed to randomly take important files with it. Is there something specific I need to do to ensure that I won't screw up my cpu when I remove norton? I am running windows 7 on a new processor, do not know if you need to know that or not. Thank you.

Here's what I use and recommend:
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw
at home. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx also proved very reliable and
compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.Avast Home free - stop any shields isn't necessary except leave Standard, Web and network
running.Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the LEFT of the + at the bottom right)
Internet Explorer)Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not (except files, Web, network, & behavior)
-double click the Orange in the Notification area - real-time shields - click on the shield that you want
stop-STOP. Stop the Orange icon to display an indicator of error - click on the Orange icon-
Right click - settings - high status bar - uncheck shields you disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-downloadAvast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network. (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - cancel)
the ones you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs.
It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see
How to remove.

http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.aspAlso get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and it would be
UPDATE of the unusual with Avast and Prevx operational except for an occasional low level (not much) cookie,
It and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note since I
started using this configuration.I hope this helps.

Why am I not able to download microsoft security essentials for my Surface RT
Downloads of microsoft security essentials, but am told that my device does not accept this app
You can install apps from the store on SurfaceRT, so any software that you are trying to download from the internet or USB does not work.
Microsoft built aspects of Security Essentials in Windows RT, so there is no need to download the software. Every day, I receive an update of the Defender through Windows Update definitions.

Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled. I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated. I read related security problems, but I have not found a match. I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach. It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update. «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»
When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.
Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."
Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

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.

I removed Bitdefender because it slowed my computer down a lot. I then installed Windows Defender and updated and scanned the computer (no problem) and said it was "protect my computer". But the Windows Security Center does not see any antivirus, until I installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Why? And are two antivirus programs now runmning together?
Microsoft Security Essentials need to uninstall Windows Defender when it is installed. If youshould not uninstall via Add/Remove programs. See the following topics:
Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials

Update Microsoft Security Essentials KB2804527 fails. Ran the recommended "Fix it" and that failed.
In recent weeks, I had a rash of customers, who have all had problems with Microsoft Windows Update across different versions of Windows.
Currently, this client is running Windows XP with installed MSE. Windows Update has the MSE KB2804527 update as an important update, but it fails.
I tried the recommendations I found in the community, and I tried to run the recommended tool 'Fix It' on it, all this without success.
I'll try to get a live chat support or phone support session goes with Microsoft, but am posting this to the community to be a 'good citizen', so to speak. :)
Someone at - it solve this problem yet? What is happening with MSE updates? Why are they scrambling so frequently by various platforms? \
Thank you, in advance.
