  I'm guessing that you're referring to a problem involving Security Center that sometimes occurs after the silent update through Windows Update to the new version of MSE.  Usually, but not always the problem occurs on computers running XP.   This occurred after updates of Windows of today?

  If the MSE icon is green then you should be protected and cannot ignore this Security Center warning. The issue seems to be resolved spontaneously after a few days

  Hello

  AVG has been known to disable the Security Center.

  AVG 8.x and 9.x even caused a lot of problems. If you decide to remove it using their removal tool
  and download, but not install any replacement before you run it.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put (all) - click right on - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT when each
  is made and before the following.

  AVG removal tool

  -------------------------------------------------

  Some antivirus/security products may cause this error. McAfee, Norton, Windows Live OneCare.
  ThreatFire are some. What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on machine now. And
  who have you ever on it, even if you have uninstalled them. (They leave leftovers that cause
  strange questions.) Therefore a number in your case.

  Check the default services and dependencies to ensure that they are running.

• 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.

• MSE is turned on, but Security Center invite you otherwise

  Original title: Anti virus alert ' Off' appears again.

  The security alert that Anti virus is cut has reappeared while MSE is green and checked. It seems that the problem had been solved and worked normally for a few days. I have XP sp3.
  Janetno

  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.
  Best regards, Janetno

• Malwarebytes MS Security Center problem reports.

  After installing Windows Security Essentials (MSE), I ran Malwarebytes' Anti - Malware (MWB).  He reported this:

  Infected registry data items:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Center\UpdatesDisableNotify (Disabled.SecurityCenter)-> Bad: (1) Good: (0) not-> no action taken.

  Is suggesting that MSE is to blame for this registry problem (if it is indeed a problem), or maybe it was a problem that existed on my system before I installed MSE and appear all the time because I ran MWB before installing MSE?

  How can I "fix" this issue?

  -Jim

  It's probably a pre-existing condition.

  Assuming XP, open the Security Center - of the control panel and click on change the way Security Center alerts me. You can enable or disable notifications as desired.

  But the Defender being off is displayed in security alerts give me a red in the status bar. How to remove alert so point ray Windows Security Center stays green like should be' W Defender seems not installable.

  Thanks in advance

  Try to update Windows and then upgrade Microsoft Security Essntials and then update it and the full scan. Restart your PC and the problem should be fix otherwise contact the support team: https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/

  Windows Defender must be turned off when the MSE is installed in Windows Vista.

• 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!

• Security Center does not recognize the Windows Security Essentials

  Windows Security Essentials does not seem to register with Security Center.  Security Center reports that no Virus protection is enabled.

  1. I installed Windows XP 32 - bit WGA, activated the product and updated to SP3.

  2 security Center starts giving Windows security alerts for Virus protection, because none has been installed.

  3. I installed McAffee VirusScan.

  4 security Center stopped giving Windows security alerts for Virus protection.

  5. I uninstalled McAffee VirusScan.

  6 security Center has resumed giving Windows security alerts for protection against the viruses as before.

  7. I installed Windows Windows Security Essentials and rebooted.

  8. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Windows Security Essentials with no joy.

  Windows Security Essentials installation did not prevent Windows security alerts.  No Windows Security Essentials registry entry will appear in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Security Center and monitoring.  If Microsoft consider essential security to be an antivirus product, then how to Windows Security Essentials register with Security Center?

  I understand that this is an information and alert issue only.  I understand that Windows Security Essentials works actually ok.  I am particularly concerned by the reports.  It conditions my deployment of Windows Home Server.  Deactivation of surveillance or the alert is not a solution, just a poor quality work around.

  In a previous thread, the author of this question even abandoned and has not requested additional assistance.  An explanation was given (relevant for Windows 7), but no solution has been offered.  Windows XP has not been addressed.   http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/the-Security-Center-has-not-recorded-an-anti-virus/15ae2383-7ced-4850-A863-f7eb8cc90ee5

  I had the same problem for a while now (I'm on xp) and have searched the Internet for a solution but found nothing at the moment.
