• Security Center does not recognize the Windows Security Essentials

  Windows Security Essentials does not seem to register with Security Center.  Security Center reports that no Virus protection is enabled.

  1. I installed Windows XP 32 - bit WGA, activated the product and updated to SP3.

  2 security Center starts giving Windows security alerts for Virus protection, because none has been installed.

  3. I installed McAffee VirusScan.

  4 security Center stopped giving Windows security alerts for Virus protection.

  5. I uninstalled McAffee VirusScan.

  6 security Center has resumed giving Windows security alerts for protection against the viruses as before.

  7. I installed Windows Windows Security Essentials and rebooted.

  8. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Windows Security Essentials with no joy.

  Windows Security Essentials installation did not prevent Windows security alerts.  No Windows Security Essentials registry entry will appear in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Security Center and monitoring.  If Microsoft consider essential security to be an antivirus product, then how to Windows Security Essentials register with Security Center?

  I understand that this is an information and alert issue only.  I understand that Windows Security Essentials works actually ok.  I am particularly concerned by the reports.  It conditions my deployment of Windows Home Server.  Deactivation of surveillance or the alert is not a solution, just a poor quality work around.

  In a previous thread, the author of this question even abandoned and has not requested additional assistance.  An explanation was given (relevant for Windows 7), but no solution has been offered.  Windows XP has not been addressed.   http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/the-Security-Center-has-not-recorded-an-anti-virus/15ae2383-7ced-4850-A863-f7eb8cc90ee5

  I had the same problem for a while now (I'm on xp) and have searched the Internet for a solution but found nothing at the moment.

  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

• Windows Security Essentials problems

  I have MS Windows Security Essentials installed on a laptop running Windows 7 64-bit. As much as I know it worked very well, but in the last day or two, my system slowed down and I'm taken to strange Web sites when I click on the links for some of my research. I tried to open the Essentilas of security programs, it flashed open for a little while and then disappears. I uninstalled and reinstalled and get the same results. When I go through the control panel and check where it says the Service Windows security can not be started.

• uninstall Windows live essentials

  I am on Windows 7 with a 64-bit laptop DV7. I have problems with Windows Live Mail, because when I click on the Inbox, sent. deleted etc, nothing happens. The only way I can get to my mail is to use 'Find' or to go to my Plusnet account. This is a nuisance. I have been informed through groups of Microsoft users that the best way to overcome this problem is to uninstall windows Live Essentials and instructions on how to do are on the Microsoft Web site. However, when I try I can't bring up the windows that would allow me to do. (see "how to remove and reinstall Windows Live Rssentials - I can't past 3 and" can't not "Uninstall") Could it be because there is a slight modification to the Hp software please, and if so someone can tell me how I can uninstall and then reinstall. Otherwise, it seems now that I'll have to go through the pain of complete recovery to try to resolve the problem. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. GordonW

• analysis of missed Windows Security Essentials

  I have installed Windows Security Essentials on many PCs - Vista, XP and 7 - to my friends.  I noticed that when WSE is missing a scheduled scan (maybe the computer is turned off), it does not catch and preform analysis effectively.  For example, my Windows 7 PC is now in its 3rd week after missing a weekly scan.  WSE should not go ahead and perform the analysis subsequently, or is it necessary to scan manually?

  Dear Forum members

  I just received email from Microsoft on Windows Security Essentials installation, but I have Kaspersky 2011, which was given to me by my Bank, those two would work together or should I just continue with what I have.

  I also have full Advance PC system supported and I just got my computer running the best I got a PC of my own work.

  I hope you can confirm that I can continue or if I can add the two together.

  Hope to hear from you all soon.

  You should never run more than one anti-virus program. Two
  at the same time can affect your performance and exposes you to the
  risk of conflicts between them.

  Which of the two should run? Personally, I think that Microsoft Security
  Essentials is the best choice.

  Regarding Advance PC support system, I strongly suggest that empty you
  She immediately.  Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil.
  The registry cleaning is not necessary and dangerous. Leave the
  Only registry and do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what a lot
  people think, and try to which suppliers of software record cleaning
  convince you to have used really doesn't hurt registry entries
  you.
  The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
  delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
  It can have.

  Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
  use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
  problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
  the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
  cleaner and never had a problem with it.

  The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
  the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
  benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
  good deal.

• Windows Security Essentials disabled

  I had Windows Security Essentials installed and running on my computer for a couple of years or more with no problems.   The Security Essentials icon in the taskbar at the bottom of my screen. Tonight, I was looking at on the internet.  When I clicked on a link to a site found by Google (almost any site) I would be redirected to another site - usually a site saying that there is something wrong with my computer.  When I looked for the icon Security Essentials in my taskbar, what it was not there when I went to my list of programs and open Security Essentials it would start but then immediately closed.  Any thoughts on what is happening?  On what do I do?

  It seems that you have inadvertently installed a browser redirection that has disabled Microsoft Security Essentials.

• Windows Security Essentials

  I use Windows Security Essentials. The HP Total Care Advisor on my laptop says that I don't have current anti-virus protection of my machine.  Why the Advisor does not recognize the essential security elements?

  Hello

  HP Advisor will never recognize a Norton installation - if you are using another security software it will not be detected.  It's just a limitation of demand and nothing to be concerned about security wise.

• How to uninstall Windows live essentials so when I try to reinstall all of them appear as the installation options?

  I'm using IE8 and windows live essentials. I tried to uninstall windows live essentials and it was no problem. When I downloaded the game to reinstall again had the options to reinstall one of them with the exception of one who was not installed. How can I clean uninstall live essentials so everything is reinstalled again?

  Hello godsdragon,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  It shows that you have a corruption in your file system.
  Run the System File Checker:

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Restart your system

  Then try again and download and install Windows Installer Cleanup Tool. Click here to download the utility.
  You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

  If this does not work uninstall, reinstall the program and then try to uninstall again. Usually, this will help to eliminate all aspects of the programs.

  I hope this helps.
