  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.

• Computer, freeze, and Microsoft Security Essentials scan stop on this file each time: c:\Program HP Imaging\bin\hpqthb08.exe

  My computer, one almost four years, Dell Inspiron 1454 with Windows XP Pro, continues to freeze when left to sit for a few minutes. Also, I discovered that when I run the Microsoft Security Essentials quick or full scan analyzing stops on the file HP Digital Imaging mentioned above several times.  I was wondering if this means something on the reason why the computer freezes up. Also, Windows Live Mail continually lets me know that it is "not responding." Yet once, I guess it's because of the freezing problem not Windows Live Mail is the cause. I do not know.  I made some different system using different dates restorations and who has not solved anything so far. I use the computer during a run without problem, but if I have a cup of coffee, for example, I have to restart when I return. Sometimes, the slider moves, sometimes not, but no matter the computer is unresponsive after that I took a break or just out of the blue when I try to open an e-mail or another task. I guess it's time for a Mac, but I thought I'd see if anyone has some ideas on how to solve this problem. Thank you!

  Hello, Olivia,.

  This problem is probably due to an outdated HP Digital Imaging monitor. Even if you decided to switch to a Mac, the question may still popup because you have installed hpqthb08.exe.

  Fortunately, there is an update that you can apply.

  SP26427. EXE

• I need to keep Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials installed?

  My question is, what do I need to keep Windows Defender installed too, or I can uninstall it.

  I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed and it works fine. I am running Vista 64 bit with service PK. 2 and the Defender is installed under Vista. Before MSE I used Windows Live One Care until my subscription has expired and that they did not renew it. At that point, I finally installed MSE. Windows defender can be uninstalled? It seems to be an unnecessary element in my Security Center.

  Hello

  No it can't be uninstalled

  It is part of the vista operating system

  by default must disable MSE, it

  If for any reason any MSE has not disabled it read this;

  read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/disable-Windows-Defender-service-in-Windows-Server-2008-or-Vista/

  and here is the method to remove it from startup in vista

• E520 stock Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  We recently got a new E520 Edge to one of our teachers, had met with an interesting question.

  When you install Microsoft Security Essentials, on reboot, the Microsoft Antimalware Service goes from automatic to manual and the service is stopped.

  Before you start saying "Infected" do not forget that this system is straight out of the box and had not been on the internet for something else to install MSE. I also restored to the factory settings and tried again with the same results.

  A process that is to recreate it:

  (1) restoration of the system to the original image. (first attempt was out of the box)

  (2) strengthened with the Standard Windows 7 OOBE.

  (3) after the Windows 7 OOBE, a Lenovo window appears asking to activate Norton Internet Security 2012

  (4) does not have activate Norton as Norton will disappear. Norton is still installed.

  (5) do not install Office.

  (5) at this point, the desktop appears. So I uninstall Norton Internet Security 2012 and rebooted. (on the first attempt, I used the last Norton Removal Tool)

  (6) upon reboot, connected to the internet, installed Microsoft Security Essentials, upgrade to the latest defs and restarted.

  Restart on 7), started Services.msc and looked at Microsoft Antimalware Service. It is started and set to automatic.

  (8) 30 seconds later. Service is set to manual. The service is stopped. MSE has a red icon.

  (9) subsequent reboots will not start MSE automatically. It must be started manually. Put back the service to automatic will be cancelled manually on a restart.

  It must be something new added to the Lenovo images, because old E520 images had a different window of Lenovo who install Norton after asking the user, and MSE works very well on them, and I'm half tempted to wipe the hard drive and install that version on this laptop because I have restore media , but before I do, someone has a idea what installed app or rest Norton kills MSE program?

  He solved.

  Made a ton of tests on the laptop and followed the Lenovo RapidBoot problem. Looked for an update, and of course, there is an update that corrects a but in Lenovo RapidBoot affecting the Microsoft Antimalware service manual. Given that the system update does not seem to have the update available, here is the link to get the latest version.

• Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

  Apparently an involuntary change of administrative privileges or permissions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) keeps me updated Media Player version 9 to 11 v. and updated virus Security Essentials definitions.
  For Media Player, wmsetup.log reports access denied error 80070005 and UpdSpAPI.log reports access denied for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding\LowRate registry key. In regedt32, I'm blocked from display HKLM\...\MediaPlayer\Settings and below, and "are allowed to view the current permission settings, but... can make a change." Except that I can't. I can enter the change but get «...» Access is denied"trying to apply them. So this is the first problem that I need help.
  But of course it's more than a registry key and the subkeys, because MSE too is affected and will download but not install virus definitions. WindowsUpdate.log reports: failed to install with error 80070643.
  My user account (it's the only one!) is part of the Administrators group and all that I tried to verify administrative permissions is positive. This is a new issue. No virus/malware, according to MSE, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, MalWarebytes Anti-Malware.

• Conflict between McAfee and Microsoft Security Essentials?

  I installed Microsoft Security Essentials on a system that had McAfee.  I thought I had the features on McAfee off the coast.  I started a full scan with MSE.  He locks up in Microsoft/Installer, which is where McAfee says that he kept finding three horses of Troy, ZeroAccess.ee, ZeroAccess.eh and generic.DX!12536d125737.  I finished the scan, but now at startup, Windows says that it has identified a problem and you need to restart in one minute.  I discovered that when I made off McAfee, it was only 15 minutes, therefore, it was still running when MSE was running her scans.  Now all McAfee services are turned off, but the problem persists.  I guess that both programs are in conflict.  The one minute message that the computer will be restarted lights Mode safe as well.  I did a restore (Vista) system and still have the problem. I guess I should remove one of the security programs but do not know what should be my plan of action.  Any help?

  Repost - See the post from Stephen Boots and run one of these "hot" spares and potentially eliminating your malware problems: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protect_scanning/apparently-got-a-virus-wednesday-discovered-it/a1c1f188-8895-4391-90ac-f3d4c2d76418

  Alternatively, if Malwarebytes could not find try TDSS Killer or Hitman Pro. But one of these rescue disks might be the best...

  Make sure that you have a good processor and 4 GB of RAM preference if you install Win 7.  If you reformat / reinstall the OS which should also remove the malware.

• Should I Norton and Microsoft Security Essentials Virus protection?

  I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials for a long time; but I keep getting popup windows telling me that they cannot provide protection against viruses because they did not have a virus to day something - or - others.

  Two windows appear, one after the other, both have an error number. If I followed the instructions I always come back to a selection of Norton anti packages of virus which must be repaid, which I don't want. That's why I installed Microsoft Security Essentials, because I was sick of seeing these things and try to follow the instructions always with the same results.

  Recently, I clicked on something in laptops and has seen a long list of time that requests had been made by Norton get me their updates - it was very very long.

  I don't know what it is all about - what it means? I find it more than an irritation. These pop-ups will light up whenever I start the computer. Can I stop this?  Do I have Norton and Microsoft - I realized that any previous protection system would be obsolete when I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials.
