Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Dedender
can someone tell me if I can use Windows Defender with Microsoft Security essentials
Ah, I was wrong. Although the version linked to this article is from 2007 and as such is probably much obsolete. In any case, as you pointed out, they cannot work together and Security Essentials outperforms it far in the protection against threats.

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
Ryan

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?

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:

It is not fair to McAfee posing problem with the Defender:

Hello, just to be sure I have the correct information, Windows Defender lights not in Windows Vista with Microsoft Security Essentials, as Essentials has its own version of the Defender. The error code I received is the same as the previous posts in which is: 0x800106ba. Again, just to be sure, I understand, I should stop trying to turn Defender because Security Essentials has covered it, okay?
Separated from the:
Hello
Yes; Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender for the reasons you mentioned.
If she didn't turn it off, you should manually have to do it anyway.
This information explains Microsoft explained:

A: If Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender are both running, your system can know the performance degradation and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time.See you soon.

Original title: security essentialsTwo different programs, is Security essentials and windows defender? They collide
Yes, 2 different applications. Defender is anti-spyware only and Security Essentials has antispyware and antivirus. Windows Defender is useless if you use Microsoft Security Essentials, given that the built-in anti-spyware component and allows you to disable Windows Defender by design.

Microsoft Security Essentials and screensaver
Can someone tell me if a scan of Microsoft Security Essentials is still running a scan when the MSE page disappears and the screen saver comes up?
Thank you
TomS
Hi Thomas,
Yes, the Microsoft Security Essentials will always run on background when the screen saver is running on the computer. If you have unchecked the option scan only when the PC is on and not in use. Microsoft Security can stop the scan.

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.

Microsoft Security Essentials replaces Windows Defender and what is the difference?
Microsoft Security Essentials has a download of much larger definitions (45 MB) Windows Defender (about 13 MB). That means more MSE WD do? The current definitions of MSE download contains the same version of engine 1.1.5502.0 as the current update of WD. How about a link to MS site to learn what MSE; In addition, compared to the WD curiously enough, can not find such a link on the MSE sites.
Norton, to less than the latest version, is a Devourer of known resources.
