• Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

  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.

• Update (error code 80070103) Windows Update fails & Microsoft Security Essentials does not install (error code 0 x 80070643)

  I keep trying to update and all these errors reappear. I can't install Microsoft Security Essentials and any update of Windows. I tried to do system Recoery by pressing F11 after reboot, and it does not work either.  I'm guessing that something might be wrong with the registry or there is a virus but I am not a computer wiz. I don't have the Vista recovery disc and the original disk to restart.  is it possible to fix this?

  I paid to get it to format in November 2010... I installed a fake Windows Vista on it (32 bits but my PC on a 64-bit password) so I had to clean install it.

  I don't understand: If you paid someone to format the HARD drive and do a clean Windows, when install I YOU "installed a 32-bit Vista?"

  If your parent friend had lost the Windows CD comes with the brand new computer, the person you paid use to do the clean install of Vista 64-bit?

  I do not see KB948465 in installed updates, only KB956250 & KB256506

  I asked only KB948465. In any case, KB256506 is not an update or a section of the play.

  No, I never had any other than Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus

  Again, I don't understand. If you have never had any other antivirus MSE and MSE has been installed since November 2010, why you try to 'install Microsoft Security Essentials' now?

  Q: which, if any, of these updates ARE LISTED in updates installed (no update history)?
  A: See the number 3, I don't see anything else apart from those two

  What "number 3"? You see nothing else, in addition to the two updates to date?

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I give up. I can't help you if you do not answer my specific questions in your very next answers!

  I think you'd better take the computer back to the repair shop & pay to figure what's wrong (yet). Good luck.

• 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

• is to have sufficient protection so much as my one and only security software Microsoft Security Essentials

  l download Microsoft Security Essentials for my windows 7 but later unintentionally downloaded McAfee Security scan plus.

  is there a conflict? should I just uninstall it, therefore less heavy for my pc?
  Thanks in advance

  Don't know why this link does not work... McAfee must have fired or their FAQ is under review.

  The Development should work... and you can uninstall/remove the application after that you are through using it.

  Here are a few suggestions of Stephen Boots, moderator of the MSE Forum about fake antivirus programs and prevention measures General malware:

  Unfortunately, this type of malware attacks are difficult to follow because they fool you by letting them install. They usually come to an infected web site and usually an advertisement. You get a pop up of infection and click on it to close the window pop up that allows you to install infection.  They can also be provided in a "drive-by" mode without any action required by the user due to the system being unpatched, any security software is running.

  When you encounter one of these fake virus pop - up during navigation, immediately do the following:

  -Do not touch any window of browser to close or navigate away.
  -Immediately, press Ctrl-Shift-Esc and bring up the Task Manager and end by force all instances of iexplore.exe, if you use Internet Explorer, or the executable for the browser you are using.
  -or-
  -Go to start/stop and reboot the PC without touching the browser windows.
  -If you used the Task Manager to close the browser instances, restart the machine.
  -Then go in the Internet/Panel control Options and delete all temporary Internet files and cookies. If you use another browser, open the browser settings to do the same - to delete the local cached files and cookies.
  -Perform a full scan with your anti-malware program.

  The steps above should prevent infection taking root.

  In addition to using an anti-malware program, the following recommendations will help to protect the PC from infection:

  S ' ensure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.

  S ' ensure that all critical updates or important, including service packs for the operating system and programs are installed from Microsoft Update (Windows Update).

  -Make sure that Internet Explorer is version 8 or higher and put up-to-date with all the patches.

  -In Internet Explorer 8 or 9, use the SmartScreen filter.

  -Make sure that the Internet IE security settings are at least put to fire medium-high (default).

  -Turn on the pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer.

  -On Vista and Windows 7 make sure that thatUser Account Control (UAC) and doesn't work with elevated privileges.

  -Make sure that automatic updates of Windows are set to notify at least, but the preferred setting is to download and install automatically. If you update manually, be sure to update as soon as possible after being informed of updates available.

  -Make sure that installed applications, including Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash and Java are at their latest versions. Many vendors are regularly updated and fixes security vulnerabilities.

  -Never click through links from unknown sources and be careful, even if they are from a "reliable".

  -Do not open attachments in unsolicited e-mail.

  Good luck...

• Firefox opens, running Microsoft Security Essentials & Malwarebytes, nothing coming.

  I have 18 installed Firefox. This is the third time that Firefox has stopped opening.

  I ran Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials all three times and each time found any problems. The only thing that worked was (using Revo Uninstaller) uninstalling and reinstalling.

  It has worked well for three weeks and stopped opening again last night.

  Oh, and attempt to use the mozilla help screens in Internet Explorer is a nightmare...

  And I tried to use the troubleshooter below, IE won't let either.

  One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  See:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/server+not+found
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/firewalls

  Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.
