Impossible to get Microsoft Security Essentials open after installation

• 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

• 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....

  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. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. How to back up and restore the registry in Windows:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

  Recommend that you restart the computer to ensure that the uninstall is complete. You can download a new Installation of MSE file from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/security-essentials-download

• 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.

  Use the Norton removal tool before you install MSE - download MSE, but do not install it

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click on - RUN AS ADMIN-

  ===================================================

  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 hope this helps.

• After XP SP1 installation, activation of windows and upgrade to SP3, Microsoft Security Essentials said that I need to get Windows Genuine?

  My brother-in-law gave me his laptop Dell Latitude D610 to work on. It was loaded with virus and almost completely non-functional. I installed an old windows XP Home Edition SP1 upgrade disk (I had to insert my plu too Windows 98 disc) on it because I had no original disks supplied with the computer. I am therefore perfectly legal with that.  I installed it and I activated it until I went through updates. When I finished updates of service pack to download SP2 to the execution of the method to update to SP3. I tried to install Microsoft Security Essentials however it would not load and said I had to VALIDATE windows. I already got it activated prior to all other updates. How can I fix it? When I try to validate windows all I see is a white screen, so I can't go any further!  So basically I have 2 problems I need to validate (the computer says that Windows is already activated when I click on the button "Activate Windows"). And I get the white screen when I try to validate... Please help I know it's legal software, just old.

• Firefox opens, running Microsoft Security Essentials &amp; Malwarebytes, nothing coming.

  I have 18 installed Firefox. This is the third time that Firefox has stopped opening.

  I ran Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials all three times and each time found any problems. The only thing that worked was (using Revo Uninstaller) uninstalling and reinstalling.

  It has worked well for three weeks and stopped opening again last night.

  Oh, and attempt to use the mozilla help screens in Internet Explorer is a nightmare...

  And I tried to use the troubleshooter below, IE won't let either.

  One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• 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.

• Microsoft Security Essentials runs on Windows XP after April 2014?

  Dear MS,

  As Microsoft Security Essentials has proved to be a program of exceptional anti-virus/Malware protection for all current versions of Windows, MSE still support with updates for Windows XP after April 2014?  Or Windows XP users will have to find a competitive package of anti-virus?

  Kind regards

  MSE will always protect you. This is XP which will not receive any further updates.

• Microsoft Security Essentials icon, absent from the taskbar after restarting Windows XP

  original title: lack of Windows XP icons after restart

  After that I restarted my antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials icon is missing from the taskbar. It also happened when I have ESET NOD32 installed. When I disable the SSDP Discovery Service, in the section of the Admin, it will appear. But when I go back and set it to automatic, it will still be absent.

  For all that is you probably not need to have running SSDP Discovery Service, for security reasons almost always disable this service on any system that I put in place.

• Layout of biased e-mail. Failed to open an email. Windows Vista Home Basic. Installed Microsoft Security Essentials.

  When you open the e-mail, the arrow cursor has the blue circle that runs continuously.  There are some letters lapping on the e-mail page.   No old or new emails cannot be opened.   Two weeks ago, I installed Microsoft Security Essentials and this problem has been resolved until today; the same problem to access old e-mail is back.

  Try to compact and repair the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).   Then in security essentials exclude the eml files of research (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3), because this results in a mismatch between the WinMail database and what is actually in the message store, generating problems such as you see.

  See if that fixes the problem.  You can also try to remove your e-mail account and then closing and reopening of Winmail opener and then add it again.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for information about the message from WinMail store organization.
