Microsoft Security Essential and McAfee

I recently installed MSE while my McAfee subscription is still ongoing. Now, my computer is loading very slowly, my Web pages take forever to load, MSE and my computer displays a black screen for nearly 2 minutes ahead before it begins in place.  Oh, and it has been freezing.  Can these be the result by running both at the same time?

You should never have 2 AVs installled at the same time.

More than one AV installed cause slow, system hangs, etc..

Uninstall McAfee or MSE.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  • Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender works not together

    I've recently switched to Microsoft Security Essentials, I it works on Windows Vista, but now Windows Defender is turned off.  If I try to 'start' Defender window freezes and it keeps just who goes back to the window where I would start from.  These two programs are not compatible?

    I've recently switched to Microsoft Security Essentials, I it works on Windows Vista, but now Windows Defender is turned off.  If I try to 'start' Defender window freezes and it keeps just who goes back to the window where I would start from.  These two programs are not compatible?

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

    Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and it automatically disables the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

    If it's not:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

    Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

    Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.

    See you soon.

    How effective Microsoft Security essential is to protect my PC from viruses & spyware?

    This isn't the best of cases, but if the best freeware choices. It's a good
    choice.

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
    to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
    run several) of the following three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
    install MalwareBytes AntiMalware (freeware).

  • Microsoft security essential 0x8007042c error code

    Was online is about to download the 2007 office program, I clicked on something somewhere on the page, and then several windows started popping up everywhere. I couldn't close them so I closed my computer by pressing the power button.

    When I logged on my desktop icons and the start menu task bar disappeared.  I couldn't go online. Many of my programs were disabled including Microsoft Security databases. I tried to uninstall my spy ware protection, it wouldn't let me.

    I pushed the ctrl + alt + del, in Task Manager, I followed the instructions suggested due to an error, new task, sailed on explorer.exe, right click, renamed explorer1 (.exe).  I got my icons back, but still could not get online. When I restarted my computer, the icons disappeared again. I followed the previous steps, except that I replaced the Explorer with web address: http://www.google, co.za that grew up a blank web page, I have typed C: / / top of the page and continued after the rest of the multi step instructions. Where'd I get my old PC after that the call to close and log back were the same thing. No icons, no start menu, the taskbar, no internet access.

    I work with a Windows xp Home sp3 than anything it will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for responding! I finally wipe the computer and starting over. It works well now, I'll keep in touch! Once again, thank you!

  • Disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail and problems with the Windows Firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows updates.

    Original title: Windows Live Hotmail only opens a new window links e-mail composition!

    I recently put my Windows Live Hotmail account to my default e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 System. Unfortunately, whenever I click on a link to e-mail on a Web page to open a new message, Hotmail tells me, "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now", and a new/compose message window does not open. I disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail, which fixed the problem. However, when I went to do a manual update of Windows, I am nailed with a Trojan horse! Apparently, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials have been affected by turning off HTTPS in Hotmail! It's 2012, and it's terribly disappointing that Microsoft only has not ironed out all the imperfections in these services now. If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!

    Thank you
