• Conflict between McAfee and Microsoft Security Essentials?

  I installed Microsoft Security Essentials on a system that had McAfee.  I thought I had the features on McAfee off the coast.  I started a full scan with MSE.  He locks up in Microsoft/Installer, which is where McAfee says that he kept finding three horses of Troy, ZeroAccess.ee, ZeroAccess.eh and generic.DX!12536d125737.  I finished the scan, but now at startup, Windows says that it has identified a problem and you need to restart in one minute.  I discovered that when I made off McAfee, it was only 15 minutes, therefore, it was still running when MSE was running her scans.  Now all McAfee services are turned off, but the problem persists.  I guess that both programs are in conflict.  The one minute message that the computer will be restarted lights Mode safe as well.  I did a restore (Vista) system and still have the problem. I guess I should remove one of the security programs but do not know what should be my plan of action.  Any help?

  Repost - See the post from Stephen Boots and run one of these "hot" spares and potentially eliminating your malware problems: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protect_scanning/apparently-got-a-virus-wednesday-discovered-it/a1c1f188-8895-4391-90ac-f3d4c2d76418

  Alternatively, if Malwarebytes could not find try TDSS Killer or Hitman Pro. But one of these rescue disks might be the best...

  Make sure that you have a good processor and 4 GB of RAM preference if you install Win 7.  If you reformat / reinstall the OS which should also remove the malware.

  Good luck...

• 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.

  Hello

  You must have a program of security/antivirus on the computer even if it is not running
  or used, because they will always load parts of themselves in memory. Even the remains of those
  uninstalled can cause strange problems.

  Frankly I uninstall McAfee and run his removal tool to avoid problems causing leftovers
  left behind.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  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.

  Norman

  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 Norton and Microsoft Security Essentials Virus protection?

  I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials for a long time; but I keep getting popup windows telling me that they cannot provide protection against viruses because they did not have a virus to day something - or - others.

  Two windows appear, one after the other, both have an error number. If I followed the instructions I always come back to a selection of Norton anti packages of virus which must be repaid, which I don't want. That's why I installed Microsoft Security Essentials, because I was sick of seeing these things and try to follow the instructions always with the same results.

  Recently, I clicked on something in laptops and has seen a long list of time that requests had been made by Norton get me their updates - it was very very long.

  I don't know what it is all about - what it means? I find it more than an irritation. These pop-ups will light up whenever I start the computer. Can I stop this?  Do I have Norton and Microsoft - I realized that any previous protection system would be obsolete when I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials.

• E520 stock Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  We recently got a new E520 Edge to one of our teachers, had met with an interesting question.

  When you install Microsoft Security Essentials, on reboot, the Microsoft Antimalware Service goes from automatic to manual and the service is stopped.

  Before you start saying "Infected" do not forget that this system is straight out of the box and had not been on the internet for something else to install MSE. I also restored to the factory settings and tried again with the same results.

  A process that is to recreate it:

  (1) restoration of the system to the original image. (first attempt was out of the box)

  (2) strengthened with the Standard Windows 7 OOBE.

  (3) after the Windows 7 OOBE, a Lenovo window appears asking to activate Norton Internet Security 2012

  (4) does not have activate Norton as Norton will disappear. Norton is still installed.

  (5) do not install Office.

  (5) at this point, the desktop appears. So I uninstall Norton Internet Security 2012 and rebooted. (on the first attempt, I used the last Norton Removal Tool)

  (6) upon reboot, connected to the internet, installed Microsoft Security Essentials, upgrade to the latest defs and restarted.

  Restart on 7), started Services.msc and looked at Microsoft Antimalware Service. It is started and set to automatic.

  (8) 30 seconds later. Service is set to manual. The service is stopped. MSE has a red icon.

  (9) subsequent reboots will not start MSE automatically. It must be started manually. Put back the service to automatic will be cancelled manually on a restart.

  It must be something new added to the Lenovo images, because old E520 images had a different window of Lenovo who install Norton after asking the user, and MSE works very well on them, and I'm half tempted to wipe the hard drive and install that version on this laptop because I have restore media , but before I do, someone has a idea what installed app or rest Norton kills MSE program?

  He solved.

  Made a ton of tests on the laptop and followed the Lenovo RapidBoot problem. Looked for an update, and of course, there is an update that corrects a but in Lenovo RapidBoot affecting the Microsoft Antimalware service manual. Given that the system update does not seem to have the update available, here is the link to get the latest version.
