Removal of Microsoft Security Essentials
How can I remove Microsoft Security Essentials of programs on my XP computer? It is in conflict with my anti-virus.
Hello HCG19,
Microsoft Security Essential is "also" an anti virus application. It is not wise to run two applications on the same machine antivirus anti. The result is, as you've found, a conflict.
MSE can be removed by opening the control panel and then clicking Add/Remove Programs icon. Scroll to the element MSE and click it to start the uninstallation.

Hello
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT and add Prevx to be sure that he is gone.

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.

I have an ADVENT 7083 laptop Windows XP, there installed AVG Anti Virus (now expired). Do I need to uninstall AVG, before installing Microsoft Security Essentials?
Yes, it's a good idea to remove it if you don't plan to use at a later date... Also I suggest that you run the removal tool (Cleanup utility).

Original title: Windows Live Hotmail only opens a new window links e-mail composition!
I recently put my Windows Live Hotmail account to my default e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 System. Unfortunately, whenever I click on a link to e-mail on a Web page to open a new message, Hotmail tells me, "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now", and a new/compose message window does not open. I disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail, which fixed the problem. However, when I went to do a manual update of Windows, I am nailed with a Trojan horse! Apparently, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials have been affected by turning off HTTPS in Hotmail! It's 2012, and it's terribly disappointing that Microsoft only has not ironed out all the imperfections in these services now. If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!
Thank you
Ryan
