MSE installed, should I Win. Defender to run?

Hello

I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed, which disables Windows Defender. My question is should I still Win Def running in the background? It appears in my start-up as Windows Defender MSASCui.exe - hide. Can I stop this process safely? I thank very you much.

You can safely stop the process (but the program starts anyway so it has no real difference, but it is perfectly safe to take as long as you continue to use the MSE).  You don't need Windows Defender if you and MSE.  MSE contains EVERYYTHING located in Windows Defender - think of it as a version of advanced with more features, functionality and opt.  In fact you don't want their race in the same time - which could cause conflicts, freezes, crashes and sll kinds other problems.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • I can't boot after installing the latest win xp updated system - missing or damaged/system32 hal.dll

    I have win xp and that you have installed the latest updates 7 system - now I can't start.

    I get the message:

    Windows didn't start because what follows is missing or corrupted /system32/hal.dll

    I don't have a CD system - which can do? everything I read said to alter, copy, etc., but since I cannot start, I can't do it all.

    Help me please, thanks

    XP trying to tell you that it cannot find the file.  It is extremely likely that the hal.dll file is really missing or damaged (XP just cannot find it).

    You should not have the Windows XP installation CD for this problem.

    It is very unlikely that the manufacturer will be able to you provide a XP installation CD, but contact them if you wish.

    What would you do if YOU were the manufacturer?  Communicate with yourself?

    The instructions in this link to replace the hal.dll file are bad, bad, bad.  If you follow them, you will need to replace the hal.dll file, but it will not be the correct hal.dll file.  There are 7 possible hal.dlls on the Windows XP CD, and check out the generic hal.dll file won't be one you need unless you run a virtual machine.  Clearly, the technical support engineers have never actually solved this problem.

    Notice that the thread is not marked as 'response' by the original poster, but by a moderator of the Forum after a period of 5 to 10 days of inactivity where some MSE posted a link to a few articles in the KB (this is how things work here).

    You should start by making a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r first just to be sure of the file system NTFS is not damaged.  Then see if you can start after that (maybe it won't).

    THEN, you must use the Recovery Console to rebuild your boot.ini file.  I would like to rename the file c:\boot.ini first then you don't rebuild on top of the afflicted (this part is missing from the article).

    I can't understand why Microsoft support engineers seem unable to display instructions to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton and Spybot.
    AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    Here's how to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    If you still have the same problem (likely), then the value rebuild your file c:\boot.ini as article says here:

  • My computer will get speed by installing an OS Win 7 32 - bit OS 64-bit instead?

    I am currently using Win7 Ultimate 64-bit. So, can I get speed by installing an OS Win 7 32 - bit OS 64-bit instead?

    In some instances Yes, I got Windows 7 64 bit on a computer with 2 GB of RAM, I noticed after some time, he was not optimal. I decided to try 32 bit Windows 7 and seen improving overall performance with regard to the execution of applications and operating in Windows 7.

    Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.

    Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller.

    N ° no programs can be installed on the Surface. Now, if Norton makes an app to the Surface, then of course you can install the application. In my opinion, the Group advocate is more than enough for safety, we have run Defender and Security Essentials since the beginning and have never had a virus. Now that both programs have merged into one big program of Defender, just us that.

  • Restart Win Defender

    Recently, I uninstalled Avast Antivural because he was in conflict with Win Defender. Avast has disappeared, but how do I restart Defender?
