Microsoft Security Essentials runs on Windows XP after April 2014?
Dear MS,
As Microsoft Security Essentials has proved to be a program of exceptional anti-virus/Malware protection for all current versions of Windows, MSE still support with updates for Windows XP after April 2014? Or Windows XP users will have to find a competitive package of anti-virus?
Kind regards
Jack
MSE will always protect you. This is XP which will not receive any further updates.

Microsoft Security Essentials disables Windows Defender in Vista?
Can error 0x800106ba on any attempt to open code I Defender. I also acquired McAfee at some point, but I uninstalled it hundreds of years ago but I still have the same error message whenever I try to open Windows Defender. Help, please
It is not fair to McAfee posing problem with the Defender:
Windows Defender:
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 should automatically disable 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.

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:
Q: is - this installation of Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7) disable Windows Defender?
A: Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender in Vista and Windows 7, and then uninstall it from XP. In some cases, this does not happen automatically.Q: what happens if I do not disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7)?
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.

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...

Microsoft Security Essentials icon, absent from the taskbar after restarting Windows XP
original title: lack of Windows XP icons after restartAfter 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.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials on Vista x 32. Security Center tells me to start Windows Defender. I click to start, but he tells me that I have to restart my computer or manually start Defender myself. I go to services, and it does not advocate. It basically tells me that my system has no need currently the program or there is another reason, it does not start. Responses tells me that for the error code of course, I met error 0x800106ba later Code it tells me to try to start it manually if it doesn't work I have uninstall Defender and need to reinstall it. Yet when I go to uninstall programs, Defender is not listed. I tried to install it again because it is not listed, I thought I could. When I went to install it, it-error telling me that I have already as it came pre-installed with Vista.
Now, my question. Do I really need Defender since I use Microsoft Security Essentials? Is in fact an older version almost essential? Why it tells me to start it if it is not needed? And if necessary, why it won't start

Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled. I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated. I read related security problems, but I have not found a match. I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach. It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update. «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»
When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.
Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."
Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer. Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance. I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.
also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools. They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

Should I deactivate Windows Defender running Microsoft Security Essentials?
I installed Microsoft Security Essentials on vista and I wanted to know if I should keep Windows Defender on or turn it off?
Windows Defender must stop automatically when you install MSE, but if not then I would recommend do you: MSE already has Defender engine everything in it, and it's not great to run both at the same time.

My brother-in-law gave me his laptop Dell Latitude D610 to work on. It was loaded with virus and almost completely non-functional. I installed an old windows XP Home Edition SP1 upgrade disk (I had to insert my plu too Windows 98 disc) on it because I had no original disks supplied with the computer. I am therefore perfectly legal with that. I installed it and I activated it until I went through updates. When I finished updates of service pack to download SP2 to the execution of the method to update to SP3. I tried to install Microsoft Security Essentials however it would not load and said I had to VALIDATE windows. I already got it activated prior to all other updates. How can I fix it? When I try to validate windows all I see is a white screen, so I can't go any further! So basically I have 2 problems I need to validate (the computer says that Windows is already activated when I click on the button "Activate Windows"). And I get the white screen when I try to validate... Please help I know it's legal software, just old.
