I just downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. Now, I get my Firewall is not on Windows messages.
Question 1: What is Microsoft Security Essentials has a firewall? If so, then I know that I don't need the Windows Firewall.
Question 2: if not, then I have another problem. I tried to activate Windows Firewall and got a message saying that the Firewall Service cannot be turned on. Why do I get this message?
Thanks for your help.

Microsoft Security Essentials NOT came with the firewall, you can use the Windows Firewall in your firewall. You must use the Windows Firewall.
For the error on the Windows Firewall, take a look on:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943996
In this article, you may need to change a registry value, very careful when you do this. I suggest to backup registry before trying to solve.

Windows Defender is disabled by Microsoft Security Essentials
I just uninstalled Windows Live One Care and installed Microsoft Security Essentials (the new free program). Windows Defender was always "off" under Windows Live One Care. Defender warned me that he can 'stops' also now that Microsoft Security Essentials is installed. Is it the way it should be? I have not any instruction on the site of Windows CE. Can you tell me please?
Solved. For some reason any installation IS does not stop Defender tries to start. Solution (as you would expect) must have Windows Defender off HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Run - exactly why Security Essentials is not beyond me...

Microsoft Security Essentials replaces Windows Defender and what is the difference?
Microsoft Security Essentials has a download of much larger definitions (45 MB) Windows Defender (about 13 MB). That means more MSE WD do? The current definitions of MSE download contains the same version of engine 1.1.5502.0 as the current update of WD. How about a link to MS site to learn what MSE; In addition, compared to the WD curiously enough, can not find such a link on the MSE sites.
Norton, to less than the latest version, is a Devourer of known resources.
TeaTimer, I used when children used the PC, because they moved I uninstalled SpyBot.
In all the years using Windows XP, from time to time the navigation were I shouldn't, I have never had problems. I use F-Secure for the past 2 years, very occasionally run malaware application manually, it never finds anything -
Windows Defender vs Microsoft Security Essentials
What is the diffenrece between the Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials? One is more recommended than the other or guarantee better security than the other? .. .or do they use the same definition files and also provide a safe protection?
Please feel free to share your own opinions and thoughts on the comparison of the two programmes. It would be much appreciated.
If you run either of these two programs... That who and why?
Thank you friends.

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).

I'm on my computer Toshiba Satellite phone, Windows Vista Home Premium x 86 32-bit Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5250 1.80 gh 2 GB RAM with Service Pack 2, when using windows firewall regular and Malwarebytes anti-malware.
I am trying to get into Windows Defender to remove the stuff start menu because my computer is running way to slow down. About 6 months ago I had a problem with Microsoft Security Essentials by turning and stay Orange (at risk) and say it wasn't scanning, but it has been. At the time, I was not aware that Windows Defender would be put off. Now, it seems that it is disabled automatically. There no way to disable MSE, if I try to change my start up programs in Defender, or even when I am trying to download programs, I always end up having to uninstall MSE, download the program and then reinstall MSE. It takes a long time and really makes me want to go back to AVG or even a different program. Help and faq are unclear and seem to leave a lot of information on. I left on the 'default' settings, for when something is happening, but I'm not quite sure this is the correct setting.
I need instructions in plain language, and it's really hard to find. Since I left my computer unprotected for download or try to change things, I'm afraid that something got. I just went through a clean installation due a person with remote access in my system and I lost a lot of pictures, records, etc., I'm always worried about security now and don't know if I should stay with MSE or not. I used the care a before Scan and he had difficulty my registry keys, that having people tell me I shouldn't have let microsoft fix my computer. (this was before the clean install). It's just confused and contradictory and not enough information. Windows Defender has a 'stop', does MSE?
This is probably not the right area, but I specifically ensured that when I signed into hotmail the box 'Save password' was unchecked. I am registered on another forum, then signing in this one, he had my password registered and logged in me full? Same thing with contacts - my old msn contacts have a way for this 'hacker' enter my computer through MSN messenger, he gave her the permission above my permission admin, so I couldn't get out. Although I asked that the old account closed a bunch of time - I guess there is still there waiting for like a year? Now I have a new email in hotmail, the clean computer, and the dang thing starts my old top loading details is on his own... - Anyway, my main concern is can I pause or stop the MSE? Can I use the Scan a care after I had no protection? and is there a place explaining MSE in regular normal verbiage with more information then what is on the help and information and download page?
Thanks for your time,
Nanette

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? \

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

Computer problems since the installation of Microsoft Security Essentials
Since the installation of Microsoft Security Essentials, my computer will stay only in mode "sleep" for a minute or two and then turns back on. Also when I turned off the computer, Microsoft Security Essentials also stops, and I have to turn it back on when I start the computer. I had the two trend micro PC-cillan and Macafee security on this computer. But I uninstalled them before installing Microsoft Security Essentials.Also my computer is supposed to go to mode after half an hour of not used but he is staying on.
Hello

I use Microsoft Security Essentials on Vista x 32. Security Center tells me to start Windows Defender. I click to start, but he tells me that I have to restart my computer or manually start Defender myself. I go to services, and it does not advocate. It basically tells me that my system has no need currently the program or there is another reason, it does not start. Responses tells me that for the error code of course, I met error 0x800106ba later Code it tells me to try to start it manually if it doesn't work I have uninstall Defender and need to reinstall it. Yet when I go to uninstall programs, Defender is not listed. I tried to install it again because it is not listed, I thought I could. When I went to install it, it-error telling me that I have already as it came pre-installed with Vista.
Now, my question. Do I really need Defender since I use Microsoft Security Essentials? Is in fact an older version almost essential? Why it tells me to start it if it is not needed? And if necessary, why it won't start
