• Microsoft Security Essentials would conflict with Norton Security Suite?

  I have Norton Security Suite on my computer, provided by my ISP.  I've heard very good things about Microsoft Security Essentials.  Can I install it or it would conflict with Norton?

  It is never a good idea to use 2 applications of malware in real time.  It is also unnecessary.  Use one or the other.

  It was me I'd use MSE, Symantec causing much too much gel, crashes and is almost impossible to remove.

• Firewall: I just downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. Now, I get my Firewall is not on Windows messages.

  I just downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. Now, I get my Firewall is not on Windows messages.

  Question 1: What is Microsoft Security Essentials has a firewall? If so, then I know that I don't need the Windows Firewall.

  Question 2: if not, then I have another problem. I tried to activate Windows Firewall and got a message saying that the Firewall Service cannot be turned on. Why do I get this message?

  Thanks for your help.

  Lynn

  Microsoft Security Essentials NOT came with the firewall, you can use the Windows Firewall in your firewall. You must use the Windows Firewall.

  For the error on the Windows Firewall, take a look on:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943996

  In this article, you may need to change a registry value, very careful when you do this. I suggest to backup registry before trying to solve.

• Is "Microsoft Security Essentials" one program antivirus?

  I am running a 64 bit system, portable. Bought with VISTA and upgraded to Wiondows 7 with Internet Explorer V.8

  Currently I have "Security Essentials" but need to know if I need one another--or the best anti-virus program.

  I have no problem to speak of, but would rather be safe than sorry.

  Thanks to you all.

  You should definitely * not * get another; having a single anti-virus. Two
  or more can slow down your computer and cause problems as they
  come into conflict with each other.
   
  Microsoft Security Essentials is one of the best available. Among the
  the free, Avast and Avira Antivir is the best. The only one
  I think that is better is NOD32, which you have to pay for and is only
  a little better.

• My Microsoft Security Essentials shows all right, again a red shield next to this icon show I have NO antivirus program installed.

  When I'm trying to remedy this by installing the Microsoft Security Essentials - I shows me that it is already installed and working correctly.  What gives - why the red shield WARNING?

  In fact, after execution of the malware analysis microsoft among others, I uninstalled Google Chrome and now everything is back to normal and the browser speed has been restored.

• Is Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus enough for a computer?

  is microsoft antivirus esstional enough for a computer?

  Hello

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  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.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the 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 the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those 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 - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something 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 think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• 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 just installed Windows Defender, but he does not see my Windows XP Security Center. I had to install Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows to see any antivirus. Why?

  I removed Bitdefender because it slowed my computer down a lot. I then installed Windows Defender and updated and scanned the computer (no problem) and said it was "protect my computer". But the Windows Security Center does not see any antivirus, until I installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Why? And are two antivirus programs now runmning together?

  Microsoft Security Essentials need to uninstall Windows Defender when it is installed. If youshould not uninstall via Add/Remove programs. See the following topics:

  Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials
