• Microsoft Security Essentials icon, absent from the taskbar after restarting Windows XP

  original title: lack of Windows XP icons after restart

  After that I restarted my antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials icon is missing from the taskbar. It also happened when I have ESET NOD32 installed. When I disable the SSDP Discovery Service, in the section of the Admin, it will appear. But when I go back and set it to automatic, it will still be absent.

  For all that is you probably not need to have running SSDP Discovery Service, for security reasons almost always disable this service on any system that I put in place.

• How to change Microsoft Security Essentials at the request of the parameters of scanning from the command line or in a script.

• Microsoft Security Essentials icon has disappeared from the bottom of my computer.

  How can I put the Microsoft Security Essentials icon back on the bottom of my computer? The icon disappeared. Several times the "speaker" icon disappears also. I look at previous posts and solutions, but I do not see the guests that are mentioned. Thank you.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  Sometimes the icon simply does not appear due to a start along with many other process resources and the part of MSE to load the icon to not load damage. If you can open MSE and it signals that all is good, it's probably what happened. Sometimes rebooting resolves it.

  If you do not use a login ID and password for Windows, this can happen more frequently, especially on an old PC, but even a new. Windows Journal and journal of back and sometimes the icon will appear for you.

• Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library linked to Microsoft Security Essentials real-time program

  I started having problems a couple of weeks with my Microsoft Security Essentials. The program will start and say it could prove to be not on the real-time protection. This operation returned because the timeout period expired. When I click ok, I followed the instructions. Start services.msc, in search box type, then choose Microsoft Antimalware Service and make sure it is in automatic mode, then start the service. Sometimes it is and sometimes it still wouldn't start. Now, for a few days, when I'm trying to start windows, I get the following message: Microsoft Visual C ++ runtime library: this application has requested the execution in an unusual way. Please contact the team of management applications for more information. Once I get this message that I can't get beyond it. In fact, the only way I can boot into safe mode to remove the battery for a while and let it flow. If I didn't, then it starts to screen messages. Sometimes of safe mode, I'm able to turn on real protecion, shut down the computer, and it starts normally. Even if I have problems with MSE initially alone, 2 appear to be connected. As soon as the computer is put to sleep, breaks down on its own or stops that I'm back in power out of nowhere I had some restorations system. One who worked, the other has not, but no matter what I do, I can't keep the problem solved. Oh and when I tried to find information about Microsoft Visual... .the messages I read talked about the location displayed in this message. There is no location given when it happens on my computer. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

  A hard disk problem is preventing windows from starting, contact your computer manufacturer or system administrator to determine if you need repair or replace the disk... root cause found: bad hard drive.

  Unfortunately, it seems that you have a bad hard drive. I suggest that you start by replacing it and re-install Windows.

• Windows Defender does not work with Microsoft Security Essentials

  I just want to confirm I'm sure I see Windows Defender listed on the site alongside the Microsoft Security Essentials in a list of items to choose from - if we choose security while we can not run the Defender is that correct? Vista runs on this toshiba that has been in place. Windows Defender is not running but essentials runs with full daily verified updates scans and other readers of both records - the concern, it is that be enough security we should do other things regarding the last blackened on computers, we have seen happening with friends and the fake software updates We have seen with the neighbors not accepting real software, they thought were updated - but in the end a fake. They were running microsoft security databases, but didn't yet these things happen - no pleasure with the laptop still being down in a different place/city. Any info would be nice to hear, clear terms, just trying to help people close to home and at a distance from time to time thanks Jen

  I'll simplify the answer...

  1 Microsoft Security Essentials has his own Defender. Running 2 defenders only create conflicts.  MSE will stop Windows Defender.

  2. no security program is sufficient for protection. Be careful, to surfing and what to download.

  3. you can install "we demand" programs such as Spybot Search Destry and Malwarebytes. They do not run until you 'open '.
  I have Avast Home Edition for "real-time" protection, and I have Spybot Search and Destroy more Malwarebytes.

  For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

• 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...

  Original title: Microsoft 7 Pro problems

  Hi Gordonaumick,

  I apologize for the inconvenience. I appreciate if you could help me with more information.

  1. What is the exact problem you face on Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE)?

  2. you receive an error message/code when using MSE?

  3. what equipment you are unable to recognize on Windows 7?

  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
