• Microsoft Security Essentials icon has disappeared from the bottom of my computer.

  How can I put the Microsoft Security Essentials icon back on the bottom of my computer? The icon disappeared. Several times the "speaker" icon disappears also. I look at previous posts and solutions, but I do not see the guests that are mentioned. Thank you.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  Sometimes the icon simply does not appear due to a start along with many other process resources and the part of MSE to load the icon to not load damage. If you can open MSE and it signals that all is good, it's probably what happened. Sometimes rebooting resolves it.

  If you do not use a login ID and password for Windows, this can happen more frequently, especially on an old PC, but even a new. Windows Journal and journal of back and sometimes the icon will appear for you.

  If the problem persists, you can consult the following discussions and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

  What The Red Shield keeps popping up with two questions in the Windows Security Center;

  (1) firewall does not run.

  (2) anit-virus Malware software is not running.

  Usually after a while it will reset and run, or I would go on the page of the security configuration to start a program.

  However, recently, the settings will not be reset, and it became an ongoing problem. He seems to have understood

  worse with Windows updates.

  He had a command back to review and reset the settings of windows Security Center in a solution under Windows

  but I wasn't able to find it again (the help has been restructured)

  I ran sfc/scannow, Glary Utilities, CCleaner and Advanced System Care.

  Anyone else has a problem with the last set of updates Vista?

  geoffreystone2

  Updates that took place after the restore point have been removed, if these programs need to be updated again (it is the restoration of the operating system - in fact, that's why it works).  It works simply on the updates of Windows, but on the updates or installations of any kind (except changes to the data).  This is not a problem and should completely (and was mentioned in my post above).  Reinstall the updates and you'll be fine here.

  System Restore may take a long time.  L ' turn off in the Middle can cause problems - problems, different problems and even serious problems.  If updates are still there (and you encounter other problems which essentially the same that you started with most of the time), then the system restore did not work or was not correctly filled (but it make some changes if some of your edits are no longer working at least partially and perhaps even completely) (, but just was not given enough time).  I suggest you try again and this time give him more time to finish - say a few hours at least, or maybe more, given the current circumstances.  To do this before you perform any relocation above because they will be lost again.

  I don't understand the issue of e-mail messages.  What do you mean by 'coded '?  What email program are you using?  I suspect that this may be the result of turning off the system before restoring it finished (or the problem with the system restore if it worked actually).  A successful restoration will solve I hope that whatever it is as well - but if we cannot get this to work, we need to abandon this effort at least for the moment.

  If this does not work, then I suggest you follow the advice of Malke (assuming that you have not already) and explain your efforts with the restoration of the system and the results that occurred as well so that they fully understand the situation.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
