• Download Microsoft Security Essentials for another computer

  I'm trying to fix a friends computer, but the internet is now down.  However, there is no anti-virus installed.  I want to download Microsoft Security Essentials on a USB key so that I can install it on his computer.

  The problem is that I have Windows 8.1 and whenever I go to the page to download MSE for XP, it shows me only the options for Windows 8.1, which does not use that.
  How can I download MSE for XP to my computer Windows 8.1?

  I have no win 8.1 to see what is happening, but go here, scroll down to 'English' and use the drop-down list on the right to get the XP version: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-all-versions

• I just installed Windows Defender, but he does not see my Windows XP Security Center. I had to install Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows to see any antivirus. Why?

  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:

• 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.

• 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.

  Hello

  NO.

• is to have sufficient protection so much as my one and only security software Microsoft Security Essentials

  l download Microsoft Security Essentials for my windows 7 but later unintentionally downloaded McAfee Security scan plus.

  is there a conflict? should I just uninstall it, therefore less heavy for my pc?
  Thanks in advance

  Don't know why this link does not work... McAfee must have fired or their FAQ is under review.

  The Development should work... and you can uninstall/remove the application after that you are through using it.

  Here are a few suggestions of Stephen Boots, moderator of the MSE Forum about fake antivirus programs and prevention measures General malware:

  Unfortunately, this type of malware attacks are difficult to follow because they fool you by letting them install. They usually come to an infected web site and usually an advertisement. You get a pop up of infection and click on it to close the window pop up that allows you to install infection.  They can also be provided in a "drive-by" mode without any action required by the user due to the system being unpatched, any security software is running.

  When you encounter one of these fake virus pop - up during navigation, immediately do the following:

  -Do not touch any window of browser to close or navigate away.
  -Immediately, press Ctrl-Shift-Esc and bring up the Task Manager and end by force all instances of iexplore.exe, if you use Internet Explorer, or the executable for the browser you are using.
  -or-
  -Go to start/stop and reboot the PC without touching the browser windows.
  -If you used the Task Manager to close the browser instances, restart the machine.
  -Then go in the Internet/Panel control Options and delete all temporary Internet files and cookies. If you use another browser, open the browser settings to do the same - to delete the local cached files and cookies.
  -Perform a full scan with your anti-malware program.

  The steps above should prevent infection taking root.

  In addition to using an anti-malware program, the following recommendations will help to protect the PC from infection:

  S ' ensure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.

  S ' ensure that all critical updates or important, including service packs for the operating system and programs are installed from Microsoft Update (Windows Update).

  -Make sure that Internet Explorer is version 8 or higher and put up-to-date with all the patches.

  -In Internet Explorer 8 or 9, use the SmartScreen filter.

  -Make sure that the Internet IE security settings are at least put to fire medium-high (default).

  -Turn on the pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer.

  -On Vista and Windows 7 make sure that thatUser Account Control (UAC) and doesn't work with elevated privileges.

  -Make sure that automatic updates of Windows are set to notify at least, but the preferred setting is to download and install automatically. If you update manually, be sure to update as soon as possible after being informed of updates available.

  -Make sure that installed applications, including Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash and Java are at their latest versions. Many vendors are regularly updated and fixes security vulnerabilities.

  -Never click through links from unknown sources and be careful, even if they are from a "reliable".

  -Do not open attachments in unsolicited e-mail.

  Good luck...

• I have Microsoft s Essentials, in the past, I've always had a prog to Add anti-virus ' l. run also, for example, Norton, etc. Can I still use the prog to Add anti-virus ' l.?

  I bought Trend Micro Pro 3.0 (old version) & installed the ver.1st of the trial. I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2 and IE 9. The prog. would not respond. I thought that it might have been a conflict w/Microsoft Security Essentials (which was never a prob. in the past), although I have deleted the virus Microsoft prog. Trend Micro has always failed. I think now that it was (not) compatible with IE 9. I've got uninstallled prog of Trend Micro Pro 3.0. and have re-installed the program Microsoft Security Essentials. I have a Playstation 3 & an Android phone, I still have to connect to my PC. I want to download anti-virus Norton 360 or Norton Internet Security, or a more recent version of Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus Program (for peace of mind). I want to still keep the program Microsoft Security Essentials, I was feeling pretty yucky before deletion because in the past, that I don't have problems like this, as when I had Norton Internet Security. It also applies when I had a trial version of Avast Antivirus running with Microsoft Security Essentials, with no problems (I cared not for Avast, that's just my personal preference). My hands & arms are bad, I think I can have on a explained all of this, I hope not. Thank you for your patience.           Thanks for any help (tips), you are able to provide.   dceb2

  It is not a good idea to run more than one antivirus real-time program together. The potential is there for the conflicts and it slows down your system.
  To avoid these problems, use only one anti-virus solution. It is your choice to decide which one to use.

• Is a tool from microsoft that checks for viruses that actually works

  I tried to use mrt.exe and the new scanner from microsoft that is the safety scanner and I used Security essentials but was not able to find the virus on my computer and when I try to manually search on the appdata and the virus was there. Guys can you like recommend me some of your tools from microsoft that can check for the presence of virus, it will be really meant a lot

  I get my infected computer all the time on purpose (practice remove infections) and I can tell you right now with100% certainty that Microsoft's tools are often too weak to detect even some of more common conditions of system and subsequently will not be able to delete them.  I don't even use Microsoft tools more for anything - I don't have time to waste.

  'Fair' note Microsoft tools and but lack many things that other applications will be prevent, detect and resolve.  Some applications are more aggressive and quarantine (effectively delete) critical XP system files, resulting in a scenario without boot (it is usually because definitions are out of date) so that makes these situations an error to the user (not the fault of the tool).

  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?

  When Microsoft tools fail or if you even suspect that they might have missed something, I always start with the free MBAM and SAS versions because they are free, install any boot on your computer and they uninstall cleanly if ever there is a need to remove them (there is no trace).

  Just start with MBAM and SAS first, and you will not waste any time trying things that might work maybe sometimes from time to time.

• What do I need to uninstall the program AVG Anti Virus before installing Microsoft Security Essentials?

  I have an ADVENT 7083 laptop Windows XP, there installed AVG Anti Virus (now expired). Do I need to uninstall AVG, before installing Microsoft Security Essentials?

  Yes, it's a good idea to remove it if you don't plan to use at a later date... Also I suggest that you run the removal tool (Cleanup utility).

• Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  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.

• PC is infected by JS/FRAMEREF. Product a virus struck on my PC, even when it is turned off. Microsoft Security Essentials is waiting with an alert as soon as my PC starts. Goose bumps!

  I have a virus called TROJAN horse: JS / FRAMEREF DETECTED BY MICROSOFT SEVCURITY ESSENTIALS. He resurfaced at every hour and MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIAL FLAGS THERE AND ASK ASK A REBOOT OF MY SYSTEM. MICROSOFT ESSENTIALS LIST IT AS FILE: C:\Documents and NetworkService Settings\Temporary Internet Files\content. IE5\v8zk6vsy\dsvftg[1].htm
  My security definitions are all to date, but the Microsoft safety scanner, and Microsoft Security essentials can not remove. It is not a Web site, because the alert comes back even if Internet explore is not selected.
   
  Help, please. This is what they call a number of root?
   
  Thank you

• Event Viewer view customized for Microsoft Security Essentials

  Hello
  I need assistance in the implementation of a custom view in the event viewer for Microsoft Security Essentials.
  Custom view I have is not the display of log entries.
  Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
  Thank you

  I changed the custom source instead of Log view
  I also changed the event ID includes / excludes to instead of a list of specific identification numbers.
  I now get the results of Security Essentials.
