Update Microsoft Security Essentials KB2804527 fails. Ran the recommended "Fix it" and that failed.

In recent weeks, I had a rash of customers, who have all had problems with Microsoft Windows Update across different versions of Windows.

Currently, this client is running Windows XP with installed MSE.  Windows Update has the MSE KB2804527 update as an important update, but it fails.

I tried the recommendations I found in the community, and I tried to run the recommended tool 'Fix It' on it, all this without success.

I'll try to get a live chat support or phone support session goes with Microsoft, but am posting this to the community to be a 'good citizen', so to speak.  :)

Someone at - it solve this problem yet?  What is happening with MSE updates?  Why are they scrambling so frequently by various platforms? \

Thank you, in advance.

    After years without problems, I can't access MSE. On startup, I get a dialog box saying "' an error has occurred in the program during initialization. If this problem continues, contact your system administrator. Error code 0 x 80070715. If I try to go to MSE to day from the bar of tasks or programs, I get the same message. If I try Microsoft Update, it shows a critical update to MSE is 2804527 KB (4.2.223.1) that will download but not intall. The message indicates the update has not been installed even if it apparently downloaded. I tried restoring the system without result. I googled the error code and I tried a few suggested corrections but found nothing to solve the problem. Help, please.

  • Update Microsoft Security Essentials removed

    Original title: Microsoft Security Essentials

    I use Windows 7 and Office 2007.  Microsoft Security Essentials asked me if I wanted to update the program.  The updated program was a digital signature from Microsoft.  Everything seemed to go well and when the download is complete, it asked me to restart my computer.  After the restart, Security Essentials has completely disappeared from my computer.

    If that's the problem with Microsoft Security Essentials, then try to install it from:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx

    Also, check in the start menu and see if you can open it or not

    And if still problem then contact support:

  • Microsoft Security Essentials icon, absent from the taskbar after restarting Windows XP

    original title: lack of Windows XP icons after restart

    After that I restarted my antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials icon is missing from the taskbar. It also happened when I have ESET NOD32 installed. When I disable the SSDP Discovery Service, in the section of the Admin, it will appear. But when I go back and set it to automatic, it will still be absent.

    For all that is you probably not need to have running SSDP Discovery Service, for security reasons almost always disable this service on any system that I put in place.

  • AVG free antivirus or microsoft security essentials! What is the best?

    Ive got a dell inspiron 1525 and I have windows vista 32 bit. I don't know if I have to use security essentials package or avg anti-virus. I can also use the mcafee security suite. I just need some experienced or professional advice and appreciate it if someone could help me! Thank you!

    Everyone has their own personal likes/dislikes to security programs!
    You opened a can of worms!

    And security Suites(Norton, Trend, McAfee) are just Bloatware.
    They try to be everything to everyone and fail.
    They also use a lot of your system resources to run.

    I do not use one of them; AVG or MSE.
    There are bad reports about the compatibility of the 9.0 AVG and MSE is a new kid on the block.
    I'll wait and see how MSE pans.

    I use builtin Vista Firewall.

    I use Avast AV:

    http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

    Avast anti-virus is XP, Vista and Windows 7 compatible, FREE, automatic update, and a user of low resources from your computer.

    And, don't have 1 (one) anti-virus installed / running on your computer at any time.

    Conflicts, crash and freezing may occur if you have more than 1 (one).

    And for an Anti-malware program:

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

    Malwarebytes is as its name suggests, a Malware Remover!

    Download the free Version from the link above.

    Download, install, upgrade and scan once a fortnight.

    Something for you to think.
    Once others have also responded, weigh the pros and cons of each.

    See you soon.
