• "Security Essentials" automatically updated, "Windows Update" does not work?

  Hello:

  I bought a Dell again last month pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).

  Immediately, I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials (after having removed via Control Panel, a trial version of McAfee, I believe that it is, that I never activated/enabled) to use as my Security Suite.

  According to my 'View Update History', Microsoft Security Essentials updates automatically every day.

  "Windows Update" itself, however, does not work.

  However, the original being in place by default settings, that is, "install updates automatically" is checked.

  When I finally noticed this and tried to manually check for updates, I kept getting the dreaded error code "server is busy".  That lasted several hours.  When I was finally able to connect, I received a long list of updates for download/install.  However, when I tried to do, several "Failed" (according to 'View Update History'), which some marked "important".  Further, when I manually check for updates again, these updates to the 'fail' don't reappear, so I don't know how to get them.

  More importantly, I don't understand why "Microsoft Security Essentials" updated automatically and daily and without problem, so that 'Windows Updates', although updated automatically, does not?

  True, my computer is off at 03:00 (the default update time), but I understand that the update should occur (to delay) the next time the computer is turned on.

  I have read many of the questions and answers here and tried most of what was suggested - for example:

  -My internet connection works of course very well.
  -I have no 'Proxy Server '.
  -J' ran 'TDSSKiller' and there was no threat found.
  -J' have also run Microsoft 'Fix Tool", which shows that something has been fixed, but it has no effect.  And whenever I run it, it 'fixed' apparently the same thing.  Without result.

  I ran Windows Update again manually before posting here and it seems to have worked very well, but why doesn't it work automatically?

  Thank you

  If all were fine with your computer:

  1. you should not receive 80072EE2 errors [1] when running manually check updates, assuming that your user account has the required permissions.

  2. you should not see any "managed by your system administrator" If your user account has the required permissions. [2]

  3. KB2572077 must be installed in my humble OPINION, especially if Win7 SP1 is installed. [3]

• After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Original title: Vista Activation issue

  After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

  and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

  such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

  I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

  It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

  I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

  Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

  I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

  It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

• Microsoft Security Essentials - the planned-out scan does not work.

  In addition to the question about the scheduled scan output after upgrade to Windows 7 to McAfee.Microsoft Security Essentials series instead of McAfee. The scan-out plan does not work.

  Support McAfee tried to straighten my computer of conversation I understood the problem of the update disc. I want to ask a question to the update command:? many problems were very pushed us all after your update. How now to get out of this dung under the name Toshiba upgrades?

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest I don t know what you re talking about exactly. What has to do with Microsoft Security Essentials McAfee?

  As far as I know it s recommended using a security program only. You must use a Microsoft or McAfee, but not both!

• 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

  Jack

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

• My Windows Vista is not all important security updates. Error message that says that one or more components of Windows Update are configured incorrectly.

  I have tried to trouble IT 50202, but which failed due to the error 2678!  Support center has no solution.  Microsoft site does not have its own error code 2678.  Ridiculous.

  This was a huge waste of time and effort because he tries and fails to reinstall everytime I stop.

  RECAP:

  • You bought the computer in January 2009;
  • The computer came with a preinstalled free McAfee;
  • A McAfee application was permanently installed until you have installed Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) on 23 August 2012;
  • You first met the problems associated with malware (according to MBAM) in June 2010, the first year of your McAfee subscription.
  • You have problems with Windows Update (MSE) on October 12, 2013, more than a year after you have installed MSE;
  • You have improved the pre-installed McAfee free trial to the full version rather than uninstall the free trialware, running the tool to remove McAfee & then make a clean installation of the paid version.
  • You have uninstalled the McAfee application until you have installed MSE but you don't not download/run the removal tool from McAfee before installing MSE.

  MY HUMBLE OPINION...

  • It was too late for the "come to the rescue" McAfee removal tool here.
  • There is a possibility, but remote, you see the effects of an infection for a long time of a certain type (because MSE has not been installed correctly & so never worked properly due to 'remains' of McAfee).
  • The computer must be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  Then what are you doing now?

  OPTION A: You can get Microsoft-sponsored Premium (i.e., paid) supported by the Office of response-online http://answerdesk.microsoftstore.com [1]

  OPTION B (highly recommended): see the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to-the-letter & in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

  If you need additional help with the clean install, please start your own new thread in this forum & advice: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system

  If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a 'BigBoxStore' or Geek Squad!) computer repair shop & let them do the work.

  OPTION C: Bite the bullet & buy a new computer (Win7).

  • If you want to transfer your personal data to the new computer, backup data from one or more DVDs (no shine). Perform analyses considered at least two 2 online (e.g., ESET;) Kaspersky; Bit Defender) of the DVD (s) before you transfer the data to the new computer.

  Wish I had better news for you, Roz.  Good luck!  On & off...

• Is it necessary to download Microsoft Security Essentials despite having Windows Defenfer?

• Updates to security for IE 7 & Windows Vista April 2009

  I was invited as usual to download updates, or to Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Vista security update (April 2009) and after doing so (there was 7 updates altogether), I couldn't access Internet Explorer. Whenever I open the browser, it says that the page is not found. I was able to access Yahoo and MSN Messenger, but the web browser will bring up all of the web pages. I had to do a restore of the system to access the Windows Home page to see if other people have faced this problem. I'm not savvy computer very, given any guidance would be appreciated.
