  Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

  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.

• 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...

• Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

  Apparently an involuntary change of administrative privileges or permissions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) keeps me updated Media Player version 9 to 11 v. and updated virus Security Essentials definitions.
  For Media Player, wmsetup.log reports access denied error 80070005 and UpdSpAPI.log reports access denied for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding\LowRate registry key. In regedt32, I'm blocked from display HKLM\...\MediaPlayer\Settings and below, and "are allowed to view the current permission settings, but... can make a change." Except that I can't. I can enter the change but get «...» Access is denied"trying to apply them. So this is the first problem that I need help.
  But of course it's more than a registry key and the subkeys, because MSE too is affected and will download but not install virus definitions. WindowsUpdate.log reports: failed to install with error 80070643.
  My user account (it's the only one!) is part of the Administrators group and all that I tried to verify administrative permissions is positive. This is a new issue. No virus/malware, according to MSE, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, MalWarebytes Anti-Malware.

• I need to keep Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials installed?

  My question is, what do I need to keep Windows Defender installed too, or I can uninstall it.

  I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed and it works fine. I am running Vista 64 bit with service PK. 2 and the Defender is installed under Vista. Before MSE I used Windows Live One Care until my subscription has expired and that they did not renew it. At that point, I finally installed MSE. Windows defender can be uninstalled? It seems to be an unnecessary element in my Security Center.

  Hello

  No it can't be uninstalled

  It is part of the vista operating system

  by default must disable MSE, it

  If for any reason any MSE has not disabled it read this;

• 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.

• Computer, freeze, and Microsoft Security Essentials scan stop on this file each time: c:\Program HP Imaging\bin\hpqthb08.exe

  My computer, one almost four years, Dell Inspiron 1454 with Windows XP Pro, continues to freeze when left to sit for a few minutes. Also, I discovered that when I run the Microsoft Security Essentials quick or full scan analyzing stops on the file HP Digital Imaging mentioned above several times.  I was wondering if this means something on the reason why the computer freezes up. Also, Windows Live Mail continually lets me know that it is "not responding." Yet once, I guess it's because of the freezing problem not Windows Live Mail is the cause. I do not know.  I made some different system using different dates restorations and who has not solved anything so far. I use the computer during a run without problem, but if I have a cup of coffee, for example, I have to restart when I return. Sometimes, the slider moves, sometimes not, but no matter the computer is unresponsive after that I took a break or just out of the blue when I try to open an e-mail or another task. I guess it's time for a Mac, but I thought I'd see if anyone has some ideas on how to solve this problem. Thank you!

  Hello, Olivia,.

  This problem is probably due to an outdated HP Digital Imaging monitor. Even if you decided to switch to a Mac, the question may still popup because you have installed hpqthb08.exe.

  Fortunately, there is an update that you can apply.

  SP26427. EXE

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=PV-26169-1&LC=en

  Or you can simply disable HP Digital Imaging Monitor.

• Dnsapi.dll and Microsoft security essentials problem

  Booted up normally in windows 7 PC this morning, then shortly after MSE reported a serious error with a Trojan patched.ao infecting the dnsapi.dll.

  So I put in quarantine, came up saying everything was good. Then 2 minutes later same message of MSE. I put in quarantine once again, but still same problem, so it's an infinite loop.

  Also noticed that he had stopped my internet connection.

  So I decided to go back to a restore point from a month earlier, booted up the machine, all good.

  Shortly after the same problem with MSE reporting the Trojan horse.

  Help pls, I have no idea of what is happening here.

  Hi remy,.

  Dnsapi.dll error messages may appear when using or installing some programs when Windows starts or shuts down, or maybe even during a Windows installation. Dnsapi.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the DLL dnsapi.

  a. the question starts to happen recently?

  b. did you changes to the computer before the show?

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  Try to run a scan of the file system (CFS) auditor to check any file corruption:

  1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
  2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, click OK, or alternatively click on Yes.
  3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

  For more information, refer to this link:

  Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

  If the problem persists, try the following method.

  Method 2:

  Restore your system to a State where the issue was not filed.

  To do this, go to the advanced startup options-> repair your computer-> system-> System Restore Options recovery

  Here is a link to show you how to perform a system restore

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

  Warning: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.
