MSE more Malewarebytes?

I was under the impression that mse is sufficient protection and we should never operate more than 1 program, but I just read this...

Microsoft Security Essentials is * very * better than Norton. Norton is
Among the * worst * those available and Microsoft Security Essentials
is one of the better ones. I highly recommend dumping Norton.
 
Here's my standard advice on the subject:
 
For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one of the
three of the following:
 
Avira
Avast
Microsoft Security Essentials
 
You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
install MalwareBytes AntiMalware (both freeware) * and *.
SuperAntiSpyware.
 
 
 
 
 
> I'm very confused about how to protect my PC Norton also said that my wireless connection is not secure. You are looking for a Director/help line. TKS
 

Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP, I run xp - sp3 with mse.  I would also add malwarebytes?

From my experience, Norton 2009 and new products are very good.  I use the free version of Norton Security Suite Comcast on my computer, and it works very well.  I don't like not products of pre-2009 of Norton, who, in my experience, could slow down a computer.  I suspect that someone who says a big NO to all products Norton did not of their most recent.

MSE is also very good, and it's free.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware works well with antivirus programs, as long as you download the free version, which has no real-time protection.  There is a chance of bad interactions with antivirus programs if MBAM real-time protection is enabled.  Install the free version, then update and run analyses sometimes.

  • Why my "Downloads" folder lasts more than five minutes to load? (Probably due by MSE)

    I have a very big downloads folder:
    5 419 files
    759 files
    30.0 GB

    I prefer to keep both as - is; However, recently it has started to take several minutes to load in Windows Explorer. Basically whenever I select the folder (either directly under my account user, either by a "Favorites" link), this green progress bar appears in the path box at the top... He continued slowly for a few minutes until what he finished. The real problem that is boring is that, while it is loading, I can't find (indexed), sort, or do anything. (The cursor shows that it is 'work'). In addition, it happens everytime I go in this directory!

    I'm pretty sure that the problem is with Microsoft Security Essentials. Under the resource monitor, subheading 'disc', dozens, or even hundreds of lines appear with the image of MsMpEng.exe (engine of Microsoft Security Essentials), probably one for each file in my downloads folder. In addition, I have confirmed that the problem disappears if I exclude this directory in MSE. However, I of course want to keep the downloads folder (which is probably the most important record to analyze new elements that I upload them!)

    Finally, I must point out that the column 'Date of access' is updated to the current date/time for about 1/3 of the files and all subfolders. I can't find a pattern for which files have their set "consulted" to date; However, none of these values are more than a month (although I certainly do not have access to many of these files for years.) (I.e. all my files are 'accessible' either immediately or in the past month.)

    Most likely, something to mark these files as 'dirty' every time - I access this folder, so pull up the re antivirus engine - check everything. Anyone know what could be the cause? Is that what I can do besides excluding this MSE folder?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help!

    So, how does it work if you uninstall MSE?

    You can allways then reinstall it

    UPDATE (29/07/2012) (SEE BELOW, NOT QUITE RESOLVED.  :()
    As expected, since excluding the 'downloads' folder of the MSE has worked, uninstall MSE also worked. However, I like MSE and want to analyze my downloads folder ;)
    UPDATE: I think I thought of her! In this case, I was running "Process Explorer" (Sysinternals) on Windows startup and pretty much all the time. Thinking that MSE could be analysis all programs that are running, I moved procexp.exe to another folder and set it at the start of this version.
    Once I did, MSE now allows me to open the file downloads without re - check everything.
    My life-lesson from this: If you run an executable file, make sure it is in a different directory other random files, otherwise MSE will constantly check their.
    Thanks for all your help!
    I will update this as "resolved" in a few days when I am sure that it really worked and it is not a chance.
    MikeY
    UPDATE (29/07/2012) :(
    Unfortunately, I see a few problems. First off, while moving ProcessExplorer for this directory he stopped the analysis of each file, each time, I opened the file, it always scans the first time I open the directory each tile. Only after waiting five minutes the first time I can then move freely in this directory. Of course, this is not ideal.

    I did some follow-up work on this:

    • I completely uninstalled MSE. Obviously, it worked. However, I then installed the antivirus NOD32. Guess what? It still freezes when opening the downloads folder! This time, instead of the hundreds of lines of "MsMpEng.exe" - billing in the resource monitor, I see hundreds of lines "ekrn.exe! (I.e., it does the same thing!)
    • I actually just moved into a new downloads folder. I found that can be summed up these kinds of folder names. (I.e., I was able to have a new folder that is displayed when I select "[UserName] / downloads.") In other words, when you download things, it appears exactly the same thing, I'm just getting started with a new directory. However, even if the library and the user subpath now point to the new folder, I change not the absolute path to my old files directory. This way I can keep the countless maps/executable shortcuts, etc. in this mega-file.

    I still think I've hit on something fundamental here. I hope I've learned why I'm causing AV systems across this large number of files, hay son as he shouldn't be testing of thousands of files that haven't changed.

    Thanks again!

  • Why does take more than 20 hours to run MSE from the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

    I've upgraded to Windows 7 a couple of days.  Normally, I run a full scan of MSE once a week at night while I'm SLEEPING.  Since upgrading to Windows 7; MSE 5% complete the next morning.  I don't know why it happened - please let me how to fix it.

    I suspect that the problem is that your computer came into fashion "sleep" during execution of MSE.  There are a number of discussions related to that on this forum as the following: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/mse-protect_scanning/why-doesn option is to change your power settings to prevent the "sleep mode", and then change them back.  What I do is run a small program called insomnia which remains visible on the screen, so I remember to turn off once the scan is complete: http://insomnia.en.softonic.com/

  • MS Security Center not showint more.

    MS Security Center used appears in the quick launch on the right side bar. Now it does not work and I try to understand what has changed. I don't see it in my group of programs either. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    Thumper357

    HI Thumper,

    The area LEFT is the area of quick launch for various programs.  There not need an icon of QuickLaunch for the Security Center as it is always running (if things are properly set up) so do not start as other programs, you put here for easy access.

    The area on the RIGHT is the Notification area that contains icons of various programs that are running.  On my system (32-bit Vista Business SP2), the Security Center does not show more.  Indeed, if your right, click on start, click Properties, then click the Notification area tab, then click on customize, you will notice that he is not there as an available option - but that is probably something called Windows security alerts (and make sure it says either "hide when idle ' or 'show' and not 'hide').  In short, there is no icon for the Security Center itself show here all the time, but if an alert occurs, an icon will appear showing the alert if you can open the Security Center and solve the problem.  I would, however, make an icon in the tray for MSE is the status of my AV/AM/AS protection.

    It is not in the programs as it is not really considered to be a program in itself.  It's actually more than one service.  To access it, go to start / Control Panel / Security Center.  There is no way I know to add a security "always there" don't Center icon to the notification area - there is no configuration option I know so he can appear - but if something is wrong the alert and you will have quick access to the center of security in this way (otherwise you can get to it as described above in this paragraph).  I never noticed it there before so I don't know if they took with an update as being unnecessary if alerts will show up or why it's 'away' - but in fact, the important thing is that alerts will appear here and you really only need an icon Security Center if there is a problem to solve - otherwise an icon which shows just right is a waste of space anyway.  Changes that are quite rare and you have easy access to it via Control Panel if you want to change (because even once, problems will appear as an alert icon in the notification area that appears only when there is a problem and if it is not there then you know everything is going well with the Security Center).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • OEM Windows XP - can I move it to a new PC? And MSE refuses to turn on real-time protection

    I have been using my Windows XP for 8-9 years now (since 2004) and I am looking for an upgrade of the unit, because the specifications of my mobile phone exceeds my computer and it cannot manage tasks effectively.

    I'll be able to transfer my current operating system on the new computer? The old computer is no longer to be used. I have all the original documentation for the computer (However, the license key is on the back of the CPU). I have read conflicting answers online saying that how it is against the EULA and others say that a phone call to Microsoft to check that she would work.

    I do not have an upgrade of the OS, since my external 500 GB hard drive only reads on my Windows XP (I tried on a Windows Vista, Windows 7 and computer Developer Preview, all told, it has been altered) and all my programs are installed on the external hard drive. If an upgrade of the OS is necessary, it would be nice to have a tool to repair my 'corrupt' hard disk restore compatibility with other computers.

    * EDIT, this information can be shaped *.
    The computer is stuck on the screen of the BIOS for a little more than 30 minutes if the manufacturer's mouse is not connected. The mouse does not work also.
    In respect to the keyboard manufacturer (PSP connector) which is lacking after a quantity of time and requires Numlock/Capslock be pressed to the screen to reactivate. Every button I press while he was free is then made a leap to the computer.
    I now use a PSP Converter USB for keyboard port, which now feeds my usb speakers. I also now use a combo of keyboard and mouse Microsoft Wireless 600.

    MSE also recently decided to pack and to no longer offer protection in real time from the computer. I tried to solve this problem myself for the month and the program still refuses to turn on protection in real time, even after a reinstall. Here is a SS of the error code.

    OEM licenses are "linked to the hip" to first on what computer it is installed.  When this computer dies or consider you otherwise out of service, the license dies with him.  Each OEM manufacturer provided a method to ensure that a transfer will not happen.  You cannot transfer it to a new computer.  To install Windows XP on a new computer, at a minimum, you will need to get a retail license for Windows XP (which are no longer available on the market).  In addition, you may find that your new machine contains chips day and components that were never supported by the drivers Windows XP - XP so maybe never run on your computer up to date.

    Programs need to be reinstalled.  You cannot simply connect an external hard drive with programs installed on another machine and expect it to work.  The system registry is suitable for the material on a specific computer and its applications installed and cannot simply be moved to a computer containing a different material.

    Your choice of only reasonable upgrade is to buy a new computer with an operating system that supports it and re - install your applications.  Your external drive * should * work on XP via the last Windows OS.  Try to perform an operation of "chkdsk/r" on your hard drive to make sure it is not damaged.  If it still does not respond, and then save the data elsewhere, reformat the disk on a Windows 7 computer and then put the data on the disk.

  • Help! Computer hangs during attempts to complete or defragmentation (MS) (MSE) virus scan or CHKDSK C: /f

    Help, please!  My computer freezes whenever I try to run a full scan or use the MS defrag it came with.  I have an important job who needs to back up, but I'm afraid that I shouldn't be where it is a virus.  I would really appreciate the help.

    Details:

    Windows XP Home Edition
    Microsoft Windows
    Version 5.1 (... Service Pack 3)

    Current system:
    Microsoft Windows XP
    Home Edition
    Version 2002
    Service Pack 3

    Fujitsu Siemens Computers
    Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 CPU
    T7200 @ 2.00 GB of RAM

    Info of current Disk Defragmenter:
    C: NTFS 112 free capacity space 47 GB space 43%
    (Was only 15% of free space at the beginning of the problems, before I removed or reduced the old files)

    Antivirus:
    Originally from Norton 2006, now uninstalled and replaced with the current Microsoft Security Essentials

    Browser: firefox version 3.5.9 (IE too but do not use)

    The story so far:

    FIRST PROBLEM: ACCIDENTS CAUSING SLEEP/HIBERNATE / SCREENSAVER?
    I am back from vacation and turned on my computer.  Soon, he wanted to upgrade me to the latest Firefox (must have been 3.6?).  He may have also updated my windows automatically.  Then whenever the standby/hibernation/standby screen came (not sure what was the culprit), the computer would crash - I would just get a gray screen when I tried to find by moving the mouse.

    'SOLVED' BY:
    I restored the system to a few points saved from before I agreed to install the new firefox.  I also stopped the computer goes on standby or into hibernation.  I couldn't work on how to disable the screen saver.  Standby/hibernation/standby order screen blocks the computer after that, and I took care not to upgrade to firefox 3.6, once again just in case, stay with the version that I was on, but continued to accept upgrades (now on 3.5.9).  I have always been accepting the automatic updates of windows however, because I was told that I should do.

    UNRESOLVED ISSUE: ANTI-VIRUS AND DEFRAGMENTATION DOWN EACH RUN
    So, I now had a more usable computer.  I tried to check virus, but the virus check (Norton, 2006) would be broken whenever I tried to do a full audit.  I analyzed in the MS Defrag tool that came with my computer and I saw that I had 15% free space, so I tried to Defrag.  Defragmentation has also crushed every time, usually at 3%.

    26 January:
    CRASHED ON THESE FILES:
    -Defrag crashed on A0044502.rbf
    -(J'ai remarqué que le nom était semblable à celle de la vérification de virus s'est écrasée avant)
    -Defrag then crashed over the other in a different file type, but I didn't note it (tmp.edb?)
    -Defrag crashed on C:/System volume information/_RESTO~1/RP320/A0045026.rbf (I think that virus check then crashed on this one too)
    -virus scan crashed on A0045030.rbf

    I ran cmd chkdsk_/f, as told to a friend.  He made 3 times and the screen went too fast to see writes said before he started.

    -defragged once again, it crashed on A0045107.rbf

    CLEANUP TO FREE UP SPACE FOR SPRING:
    I then had the end of emergency work, so did not have to try to solve this problem for weeks.  I just don't have the virus scan and did not try to defragment, therefore had no crashes.  When I had spare time, I went through removing unnecessary programs, deleting unnecessary files of old works and by reducing the great graphics work at smaller sizes.  At the time I had finished my rush job and could return to the problem, I got 43% free space.

    Wednesday, April 8:
    BACK TO ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
    -J' uninstalled Norton 2006 and then installed Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it would take viruses.  QuickScan revealed no.  Full analysis has crashed every time unfortunately.
    9 April:
    -CHKDSK C: /f or crashed was working incredibly slow (1/2 hour on the same file) both times I tried to do.  Both times it crashed on 66% to check the data of the file (4 of 5)
    SFC - typed term: the black box will Flash up but then disappears so fast, you can hardly see.  Nothing else happens.  I tried several times.
    -J' restarted the computer in "safe mode with command prompt" and tried SFC/scannow and got the following error:
    "Windows file protection could not initialize a scan of protected system files.
    The specific error code is 0x000006ba [the RPC server is unavailable]. »
    -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and typed SFC term.  Same thing happened as has happened before in the windows.
    -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and tried a full analysis of the MSE virus.  After an hour of working, it crashed in this file: C:/System Volume Information/_restore{5C5FC002-5FB5-4560-96DA-E32D8569FB2E}/RP320/A0045038.rbf.  This happened just after I clicked on a tiny with my notes Notepad document, although I don't know if that's what he did or has not already been blocked.  I managed to take a break and he reactivated just before it crashed.  The complete virus check was almost over, guessing 80% to the green bar.
    -J' tried to Defrag in 'safe mode', which soon crushed on C:... A0070595. MSI
    All these accidents April just cause the screen appearing to freeze because the virus check or defrag did not move from the file it says that it was on... then when I would try to stop it, the screen completely freezes so I have to manually shut down.

    Please help me solve this problem!  Should I save my work?  If I back up and there is a virus, then my backup external hard drive could be infected.  But if I do not support, I could lose a lot of work.

    Thank you very much.

    Speedlauncher Adobe is a legitimate program, while orangefirefox.exe presents itself as an infection by the worm on a google search.

    It's a little unusual that Kaspersky would freeze even in SafeMode... perhaps running a chkdsk might help take the files that programs AV and defrag crash on: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

    You may disable the system restore: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 and this should get rid of all the restore points and then hopefully no longer break when scanning, but make sure you turn it!

    But sometimes I come across systems that had infections as well as at the end of all the damage that has been caused, it is better just to do a reinstall.

    Thank you stephanie.
    Can I have found the reason of this problem.
    In response to your questions, I have XP Edition version 2002 SP3 family, and it's happened twice. No changes to the computer, I get the message that the antivirus is disabled. I have Secunia and installed Trusteer.
    The clock is set correctly.
    However today, after starting the computer the alert was still on display but Secunia has been to analyze the computer and found a single program, Sun Java in need of an update.
    Once I had made and re-scanned with Secunia, the dissappeared and anti put virus in the Security Center alert icon running once more.
    It's only recently become a problem and hope, that I found a permanent answer.
