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

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:

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

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

The safety of MS Scanner will not prevent your system from being infected again - you need to use another product to help with that.

No single analytical tool seems to know everything, so it is prudent to use more than one.

Microsoft is not in cases of prevention, detection or removal of malware - that aren't their specialty.  There are other companies where the removal, prevention and detection of malware is their specialty and that's all they do all day long.

Why are we expect or ask Microsoft to surpass in the areas where it's not their job?

We do not know enough about your system for now, so see if you can get it cleaned up and stabilized first and then decide what to do next.

If you still think your system may be achieved a malware, I would do these things before you start any troubleshooting effort:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

Download and run Hitman Pro here and during installation to be 100% sure to refuse the installation of toolbars, decline any e-mail options, nothing to do with Bing or MSN, perform a scan time, accept no e-mail and activate the free license:

http://www.SurfRight.nl/en/downloads/ (make sure you get the free version)

Download and run TDSSKiller from Kaspersky:
http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

If you still think that you have any questions, then proceed as follows:

Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

Provide information on your system, the better you can:

What is your system brand and model?

What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

What is your Internet browser and version?

Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

What do not you think that you should see?

If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

Hello

1. what web browser do you use?

2 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?

If you use Internet Explorer, please follow the methods.

Method 1:

If you see pop-ups suspicious, bars unwanted tools, redirects, strange results or other unexpected behavior on your computer, you may have been deceived by installing malicious software (also known as 'malware') on your computer. This behavior is known as the browser hijacking.

To correct your hijacked browser I suggest to follow the steps outlined in the article below and check if it helps to solve the problem:

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/spyware/browserhijacking.aspx

Method 2:

Step 1:

Start the computer in safe mode with network and perform antivirus analysis.

See the link.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

Step 2:

Perform an online virus scan.

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

Method 3:

Follow the steps in the link.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-NZ/Windows7/Internet-Explorer-pop-up-Blocker-frequently-asked-questions

Method 4:

optimize Internet Explorer and check.

NOTE: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you have added to the list of Trusted Sites. Reset the Internet Explorer settings can also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the reset Internet Explorer settings

microsoft security databases will remove VirTool:Win32/obfuscator.AFX / Obfuscator.ZN

I ran microsoft security scanner, and he says that it has detected the virus of subject but it has not removed.  I have updated the security essentials and do run a full scan.  It will remove the virus of subject?

Hello

You will need to try and see if it deletes it.

If he doen't, follow these tips.

Scan of Malware in Safe Mode with network.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#Vista

Windows Vista

Using the F8 method:

1. Restart your computer.
2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/

Then, download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

See you soon.
