• Dungeon, error message "Thunderbird does not' SOLVED use different antivirus CAUSE: MSE (Microsoft Essentials antivirus)

  As soon as I connect on Thunderbird, with any action I take, immediately I get the message "Thunderbird does not respond.

  It is and will always be a problem in Microsoft. I got exactly the same problem with MSE and Thunderbird at the time of Thunderbird 3. I've spilled the Microsoft Junk and have not looked back.

  There are a lot of free anti virus alternatives of MSE. Almost all of them offer more features and better success rates when catch bugs

• Thunderbird interfere with MSE updates. There is a patch for it?

  An MSE update causes a complaint 'failure of the network connection. If Thunderbird is closed and the system restarted, the MSE update has been completed. This has happened three times, with the closing/restart process resolved the question in each case. I use XP SP3.

  Y at - it a patch for this problem?

  The question is moot.

  MSE will not install. I experienced the usual cleaning, service stops and corrections of error associated with that pose problems with MSE.

  No dice.

  I should have left the lie of dog asleep... something I knew before starting this process. I prefer that things work as it should in contrast half fast. As the preference and the fact that there are still Microsoft is a mutual dichotomy that will never be resolved.

  Thank you for your comments.

• MSE-Online Shopping and banking services

  I just installed MSE on a small notebook from gateway. My question is: is it safe to now use this computer for banking online and buy online? I was able to do both with McAfee Security Suite but this computer does not have a sufficient RAM for the McAfee products where it has been very slow.

  Thank you!!

  [Moved from comments]

  MSE as much as McAfee protects you without being a resource hog. I have used it for years now and do banking online and purchase.

• MSE answers specific to the error codes.

  I think it would be useful to be able to insert a screenshot of paint in the other details for MSE error codes. Plans to use in the future, or have I missed something?

  Thank you.

  It is possible to post screenshots, but not, as you have observed, through the buffer of the dough of a general application.  The general approach is to store a real screen shot on some website storing the image, and then put a link here.  Do it right and you will see the actual picture.  Here is a description using SkyDrive: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproui/thread/4fc10639-02db-4665-993a-08d865088d65

• I can't change the name of the folder... is my infected computer I use MSE?

  I created two accounts 1) Director & 2) user account... now I ve a problem with my administrator account... .i can not change the name of the folder. I'm using MSE, please guide me through this...

  Make sure that your administrator account has administrator privileges to modify or change the name of your folder.

  Normally, Microsoft Security Essentials does not cause such problems.

• FYI ~ MSE works very well with: Norton 2010beta, Spybot-SD 1.6.2

  Everyone at MS, especially the leaders of the 'team MSE' know wanted to:

  MSE did NOT have a conflict, nor caused a conflict with NIS 2010 beta product Symantec or with product from Safer Networking Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6.2.46

  All three of them are able to ' get-a-long ' in the same sandbox, at the same time. They are very attentive and time of other toys!

  Thanks for another product to help relieve my Web ~ insecurity phobia!

  ;)

  MSE did NOT have a conflict, nor caused a conflict with NIS 2010 from Symantec product beta, or... Spybot

  Are you sure about that? CF. MSE update leaves Windows Update that need to the same update

• MSE is considered "optional" update by Windows Update?

  Windows Update is deemed updates of Microsoft Security Essentials definitions as "optional".

  AV defs are, IMO, critical - why Windows Update is not agree with me?

• MSE running with the automatic update. Do I still need to install the Windows 7 security updates?

  If I run THAT MSE value automatic update do I still need to install updates for windows 7 security?

  Yes. MSE and Windows update are two different things, although MSE uses the channel WU to update itself.

• is there a way to pause my MSE daily updated?

  I'm running a Dell laptop and XP with a DSL connection that says it runs at a speed of 100.0 Mbps. every day when I start my laptop, it takes forever to do anything until the daily update is complete. Sometimes I need to check something real quick and I have to wait forever. It would be nice to be able to suspend the update until I finished to do what I need and then resume where it is not important get info fast. updates only take 3-5 minutes, but it's annoying when your in a hurry and you can't get what you want without taking a coffee break...

  No problem, girlfriend. Updated & MSE is a little tricky.

  Set to automatic update/Microsoft Update will offer definitions updates and program updates (i.e., improvements in engine version & application) to MSE. If a user rejects them, MSE will always auto-updated daily (updates definitions day & upgrades to the engine). If a new version of MSE becomes available, MSE will prompt the user to install it.

• XP Media Center - unable to connect to Windows Update MSE fails with the error Code: 0X80072EFE

  OS: Windows XP Media Center: SP3, P4 3.20 Ghz, 1 GB of memory IE V8 processor

  I currently have problems to connect to Windows Update. I can't connect to the site at all and is the "this page cannot be displayed" whenever I try to open it. I diagnose the network connection and he came back with no problems found. I can download & install Microsoft Security Essentials, but I get error 0x80072EFE when I try to update. Note: MSE seems to update on its own, but not via the update button. I reset IE8 by default as well as the windows firewall and the IP (Winsockfix.exe) stack

  I also ran several different viruses, malware and Trojan scanners and all are own return. (AVG, Norton Security scan, MSE. I tried to run the scan to Microsoft Live, but the page froze when I tried to download it. It seems that any Microsoft Security site is blocked for some reason any. A Hijack log is available if needed?

  I had some browser redirect issues (I suspect the Virus), but it was very random and seems to have settled down. The main problem now is to get the update in the system and the MSE.

  Thank you

• MSE update returns.

  Windows Update keeps saying: "There is 1 available optional updates" and it is MSE updated KB972696. Even if I hide it, it will come back again, apparently it turns.

  How can I stop this?

• Windows Update is blocked/stands/the download. MSE is hooked on the download of the update. "Preparation set up windows." message on farm.

  I have Windows Update problems , starting on 25/05/10.  I've updated from Windows XP Pro sp3 for Win7 Pro in January and had no problems until 4 days ago.

  -The update says, there are updates available, but by clicking on the download button, it crashes just at 0%.

  -MSE did the same at a standstill in the middle of updates

  -Furthermore, I get the message 'preparation set up windows.  Do not turn off your computer"when I turned off the computer , but not when I turn it on.  I ended up leaving it and the computer is off when I wake up the next morning.  It does not when I turn on the computer.

  -Win7 now has an icon in the task bar that says ' Windows is downloading updates (all 95%). ", but stated that, for 4 days, and nothing is downloaded.

  -I have no update failed I can find in the history of the update.

  -Convenience store has not fixed anything.

  -Remove pending.xml and reboot.xml did not work.  There is a reboot.xml in the directory, but no pending.xml file.  Any attempt to remove reboot.xml (modification date 26/12/2009) generated the message: "You need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file."  Attempts to delete the file in an administrator command prompt was an error: "access is denied".

  -There is no restore points saved for me to come back to.  System Restore has not been configured properly and had no space to save a restore point (it does now).

  -starting in safe mode works very well.  Restart in SafeMode to normal mode works great, but the problems persist.

  Run MSE and COMODO firewall, running before errors start with no problems.

  Did you or did you not (1) uninstall Comodo Firewall, (2) active Windows Firewall, (3) reset Windows Update by KB971058 (the difficulty it running in mode by DEFAULT and AGGRESSIVE) and (4) then restarted?

  [I will not go into a lengthy discussion on firewalls or preferences for the same thing here: Comodo Firewall and MSE do not play well together.] [I wouldn't have installed both.]

• MSE or Trend Micro

  My laptop is running windows vista home SP2 and I have MSE and Trend Micro installed. It is really slow and freezes when I do things like burn my pictures on cd. Sometimes, I have to take the battery out to turn it off. I also ran called DriverCure which says I 13 extension errors but I have not paid the 29.95 yet, so I do not have those fixed. What should I do and what antivirus should I take off.

  I always liked Trend Micro, which is what I used in my business.  It is easy on system resources, and it does a good job to keep the virus away.  I run MSE on my home machine, and it seems to be very good as well.  Whatever it is, you must uninstall one of them as soon as POSSIBLE because two full-time virus scanners running on a computer is just a matter of trouble.
