I was not able to get Microsoft Security Essentials to work.

After I installed Windows 7 Pro, I did have much of chance things will work properly or even to make the computer recognize the hardware, etc... But my biggest concern is that I have not been able to get Microsoft Security Essentials to work. I was not able to remove the non-working existing out of my system M.S.E.... I would greatly appreciate any good suggestions... Thank you

Original title: Microsoft 7 Pro problems

Hi Gordonaumick,

I apologize for the inconvenience. I appreciate if you could help me with more information.

1. What is the exact problem you face on Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE)?

2. you receive an error message/code when using MSE?

3. what equipment you are unable to recognize on Windows 7?

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

Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • 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.

  • How can I get Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus security?

    After another year of Norton 360, I got the stupid games of Symantec, tired of the ot, uninstalled and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials.  I restarted my computer (Dell Dimension 8200 running Windows XP Pro 2002).  After that, I ran services.msc impatiently as my program of service to show that my antivirus security worked and I had nothing to fear.  Imgine my grief when my service center reported that my computer was always subject to viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other forms of malware.  I thought, perhaps, I had reduced the activity of some vital download too quickly and, therefore, have prevented a good download.  So I tried again, this time with a lot more patience...   This time, I received a message that the program was already on my computer, asking if I wanted to replace it with the new download.  Because the first time I acted in a hurry, I replied that I tried the second download try replacing the Lerna, this time with a lot more patience.  There is no apparent change that showed the Security Center: no protection against the virus.  How can I get Microsoft Security Essentials to act as my antivirus program and my Security Center to recognize it as such?

    Hi David,

    Glad to hear thiings are better. Do not forget to chek that MSE will automatically update the definitions that every 24-48 hours and regular tests are carried out. Also suggest that you go to settings > default Actions and change to quarantine all. don't forget to 'Save changes'. This is recommended to avoid problems such as potentially unwanted programs and the removal of the odd false positive.

    You are definitely not alone in your skepticism about Norton and other paid for antimalware solutions.

    Feel free to mark my initial response as response and/or useful.

    Have a day without malware.

    Kind regards

  • 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-download

    Avast 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#TAB4

    Or 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://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also 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 was not able to get on firefox for weeks! It crashes on opening a few seconds. I reinstalled hoping to be updated, but that has not worked. It will not be open even in safe mode. I'm desperate...

    all of a sudden a few weeks ago, I can't have on firefox. It crashes immediately on startup every time anything and journalist accident happens. I studied all the articles and followed their suggestions. I installed the latest version of firefox and still get the same results. I can't even open firefox in safe mode. I don't ' know what else to try and really need my favorite browser back and all my favorites and passwords...

    Since I exhausted all angles throughout January and early February, I can't really identify what makes the difference, but today... IT WORKS NOW! Firefox has been removed from my computer for a few weeks now, so with renewed determination I searched all single folder on my entire hard drive and found 3 random files with mozilla or any part of the word inside mozilla and erased. I turned off the computer and restarted a few hours later. I downloaded firefox 10 (still higher version than the one I was updating of a month) from google chrome and installed it. so thank you for your comments and help!

  • Qosmio-F750-10N and Win8.1 - were not able to get the right BT drivers

    Hello

    Since upgrading my HARD drive and installing Windows 8 (.1), I was not able to get the right drivers for my Qosmio F750-10N Bluetooth.

    If I go through the section of drivers download site, the drop-down boxes of language and the region appear to be defective, so it shows me all the drivers.

    Tried to install a Toshiba Bluetooth stack generic but it doesn't seem to be able to recognize my Bluetooth device. Also tried to go through the Atheros website without much luck.

    Please could someone help or maybe post a link to a download mirror.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    First of all, it seems that the 8.1 win is not supported for Qosmio F750.
    So I might be difficult to operate BT

    However, AFAIK the Qosmio F750-10N was equipped with an Atheros AR9285 Wifi/BT card.

    This means that a single module shares the WiFi network and BT and you need to install the Atheros BT filter driver.
    Next to the BT filter installed, must install the driver of Toshiba system to win 8.1
    The pilot of this system must be installed before the filter of BT driver.

    But like I said: 8.1 win is not supported for this Qosmio unit and you won't find drivers Win 8.1 download section in the driver F750.

    But you should try the drivers released for the other, more recent Qosmio series; i.e. X 870

    Good luck
