My Microsoft Security Essentials shows all right, again a red shield next to this icon show I have NO antivirus program installed.
When I'm trying to remedy this by installing the Microsoft Security Essentials - I shows me that it is already installed and working correctly. What gives - why the red shield WARNING?
In fact, after execution of the malware analysis microsoft among others, I uninstalled Google Chrome and now everything is back to normal and the browser speed has been restored.

Why are there redundant for Microsoft Security Essentials download sites?
Original title: Microsoft Security Essentials:
At the insistence of some other people on this community, I decided to start another thread for this exact same topic:
Why are there redundant for Microsoft Security Essentials download sites? I went on the first site in my search on the web:
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=520
It looks pretty official to me, however, there is only one problem with the above site. Download options are way too vague for us lay people. After publication on the website of MS Community, I was quickly corrected on my ad which does not seem to be an idle thread and offered a link to download the instructions and frequently asked questions that did not work. Much later, I was offered another site to download with different language options and a more detailed description of download:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Security-Essentials-all-versions
Well, I have to ask the same question again, but in a different way: why society billions of dollars allows this kind of nonsense (multiple and various download sites on the web) occur under their name? Excuse me if I look a little frustrated on this problem, but I am!
Here's what the site was used initially. I still don't know which version to download for use on this site. The only distinction: "amd64" or "x 86". I don't know looking below that mean both.
Version:Date of publication:4.4.0304.0
10/11/2013
Name of the file:File size:ENUS\amd64\MSEInstall.exe
13.0 MB
ENUS\x86\MSEInstall.exe
10.6 MB
Download sites are for companies and technicians who need to deploy these. Basically, the people who understand and who need these details.
For consumers (users of this community site), the printable page is simply microsoft.com/security_essentials
Here, you can easily get the version you need.

Impossible to download Microsoft Security Essentials
I tried to download updates for Microsoft Security Essentials and get the message "download virus confined and was eliminated. Also tried to delete the program and re-enstall, but could not remove. Then tried to download a new Microsoft Security Essentials and again got message "contains viruses has been removed.
The program worked fine several weeks ago!

Why am I not able to download microsoft security essentials for my Surface RT
Downloads of microsoft security essentials, but am told that my device does not accept this app
You can install apps from the store on SurfaceRT, so any software that you are trying to download from the internet or USB does not work.
Microsoft built aspects of Security Essentials in Windows RT, so there is no need to download the software. Every day, I receive an update of the Defender through Windows Update definitions.

Should I have my firewall on at all because I have Microsoft Security Essentials?
Original title: Firewall Question
I can access photos and music from my computer to the TV if I turn off my windows firewall. Should I have my firewall on at all because I have Microsoft Security Essentials?
Hello
The short answer is Yes, you need the firewall-firewall blocking incoming and outgoing communication except for these applications which his self-taught (trained) are safe allow and therefore blocking unwanted software / unknown (programs, Trojan horses, software spyware, etc.). On the other hand, Microsoft Security Essentials is an antivirus application, that caters to a specific type of malware - virus.
If the problem is the firewall, let me suggest another freeware firewall that has targeted training, so that you can train to your TV and your computer communicate securely. This program is PrivateFirewall, download it here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Firewall/Privatefirewall.shtml - this is the firewall that I have used successfully on my own computer for several years now.
Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

How can I get Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus security?
After another year of Norton 360, I got the stupid games of Symantec, tired of the ot, uninstalled and downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. I restarted my computer (Dell Dimension 8200 running Windows XP Pro 2002). After that, I ran services.msc impatiently as my program of service to show that my antivirus security worked and I had nothing to fear. Imgine my grief when my service center reported that my computer was always subject to viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other forms of malware. I thought, perhaps, I had reduced the activity of some vital download too quickly and, therefore, have prevented a good download. So I tried again, this time with a lot more patience... This time, I received a message that the program was already on my computer, asking if I wanted to replace it with the new download. Because the first time I acted in a hurry, I replied that I tried the second download try replacing the Lerna, this time with a lot more patience. There is no apparent change that showed the Security Center: no protection against the virus. How can I get Microsoft Security Essentials to act as my antivirus program and my Security Center to recognize it as such?
Hi David,
Glad to hear thiings are better. Do not forget to chek that MSE will automatically update the definitions that every 24-48 hours and regular tests are carried out. Also suggest that you go to settings > default Actions and change to quarantine all. don't forget to 'Save changes'. This is recommended to avoid problems such as potentially unwanted programs and the removal of the odd false positive.
You are definitely not alone in your skepticism about Norton and other paid for antimalware solutions.
Feel free to mark my initial response as response and/or useful.
Have a day without malware.
Kind regards

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

McAfee VirsuScan & Microsoft Security Essentials - that both are necessary?
I just MSE on my new computer. It is installed and running.
I have a subscription with McAfee VirusScan Plus.
I understand the need for Antivirus software.
I don't want problems of 'conflict', and I of is not to have more things that I really need to be 'safe' (a relative term).
Do I have the McAfee and MSE work together on the same computer?
Which leads to my basic question:
Should I also install McAfee VirusScan more in addition to MSE?
Thank you
Travis
Sorry I posted CCET question in a comment on another thread. I guess I'm 'ask a question' hope it's the right place.

I have 18 installed Firefox. This is the third time that Firefox has stopped opening.
I ran Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials all three times and each time found any problems. The only thing that worked was (using Revo Uninstaller) uninstalling and reinstalling.
It has worked well for three weeks and stopped opening again last night.
Oh, and attempt to use the mozilla help screens in Internet Explorer is a nightmare...
And I tried to use the troubleshooter below, IE won't let either.
One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
See:
Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.
