• Impossible to update Microsoft Security Essentials

  I try to manually update Microsoft Security Essentials and it fails and says "Virus and spyware definitions: connection failed." Security Essentials could not complete the virus and spyware definitions update 08/27/2012, 14:04 because of a network connectivity or Internet problem. "I also tried to download the definitions manually in a file and installed, but there is no clear Security Essentials of the error. Windows Update will not work for updating the definitions either. I tried to disable the user account control, but that did not help. I have the "Check for the latest spyware and virus definitions before running a scheduled scan" on. I don't have any other antivirus real-time protection software. I recently had a problem with my internet connection with wireless devices. I turned off the password and then it back on to my router and that fixes the problem. Please and thanks in advance.

• Update Microsoft Security Essentials error

  A recent version of the 4.9.218.0 update (KB3140527) automatically updated on my PC, Friday, February 25, 16.  That night, I tried to log on my PC and when I typed my password the next theing happened has the screen became black and would go no further.  The keyboard the lights were on, the fan was running and the cursor of the mouse could be seen on the screen but otherwise black.

  I had to unplug and remove the battery to restart the PC in safe mode.  I then had to restore to the previous point.  After my PC worked fine but the next morning the update even ran automatically and the same thing happened on 26/02/16.

  I had to disable the automatic updates for now, this update is the cause of the screen to go black.

  Anyone else having this problem?

  Yes, a lot of Vista users had this question: http://www.vistax64.com/windows-updates/304379-update-microsoft-security-essentials-4-9-218-0-kb3140527.html

• 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? \

• Update Microsoft Security Essentials removed

  Original title: Microsoft Security Essentials

  I use Windows 7 and Office 2007.  Microsoft Security Essentials asked me if I wanted to update the program.  The updated program was a digital signature from Microsoft.  Everything seemed to go well and when the download is complete, it asked me to restart my computer.  After the restart, Security Essentials has completely disappeared from my computer.

  If that's the problem with Microsoft Security Essentials, then try to install it from:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx

  Also, check in the start menu and see if you can open it or not

  And if still problem then contact support:

  I can't update MSE. I have a red symbol indicating that I am unproteceted and whenever I try to start the update I get the same error code. I ran PC Cleaner and Malaware bytes, but it is still there.

• 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.
