  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.

  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.

  Windows Defender is not an anti-virus program. MSE is a comprehensive security program and that you want to use.

• Should I deactivate Windows Defender running Microsoft Security Essentials?

  I installed Microsoft Security Essentials on vista and I wanted to know if I should keep Windows Defender on or turn it off?

  Windows Defender must stop automatically when you install MSE, but if not then I would recommend do you: MSE already has Defender engine everything in it, and it's not great to run both at the same time.

• 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;

• Kaspersky and Windows Defender AKA Microsoft Security Essentials

  As Kaspersky comes with new computers, it neutralizes or has any kind of problem with Windows Defender?

  As we know 2 Antivirus somehow (disabled or not properly uninstalled) in a computer is a BIG no-no, how you handle this?

  Hello

  It is not recommended to use two Antivirus at the same time. You can use Kaspersky or Microsoft Security Essential. Windows Defender is the defense against software spyware and other unwanted software. If Anti Virus is active and working then he will take over from Windows Defender. The things most important do not use two antivirus at the same time.

• Why my windows defender off swith & travel essentials on how doi fix this that I don't see anything in the settings

  Why my windows defender off swith & travel essentials on how doi fix this that I don't see anything in the settings

  There is nothing to fix. Part of MSE is the same work as Windows Defender so it shut down to avoid conflicts. You might as well remove it from your machine.
   
   

• I have a Fujitsu computer Vista with Windows Defender and F Secure, Defender shows no question but F Secure shows "from viruses and spies malfunction."

  I have a Fujitsu with Windows vista by Windows defender. My provider is Talk Talk and they provide secure F. My! St question is do I really both.

  This time Defender tells me everything is going well. But sure F tells me "from viruses and spies malfunction' when I took the road that I am not able to turn it, if I click on tour, nothing happens and the alert does not go far. All of the suggestions.

  * original title - confuses security *.

  Windows Defender is the base defense that is provided with Windows. This is where if you have the defense long enough to get a real anti-virus program. If nothing else you should get Microsoft Security Essentials for free here:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-CA/security_essentials/default.aspx

  It will offer a lot more security than the Defender.

  I also recommend getting (also free) malwarebytes from www.malwarebytes.org who is a good anti-malware for the MSE scanner may not be able to find little things.

• Windows Update and Microsoft Security Essentials error 80072EFE code

  I am running windows vista sp2, recently I have problems with windows update, for some unknown reason, which I can't find an answer too, now I am unable to run updates. I tried to install Security Essentials to try to solve any pc problems but cannot do not run as it will not be updated.

  If bound to all, my problems started with my lack of support during the connection user profile, and then receive several error messages (with no information) on the host files.

  Can anyone help?

  When (date about) don't you install Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) and has been the computer fully-patched to Windows Update in time?

  What antivirus application was installed before you installed MSE, was your subscription always news, and did you uninstall it before installing MSE?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  I opened all the program files and not the "hidden" box, which restored the programs in the start menu.

  When I tried to run Windows Update, I got an obscure error message.

• Update (error code 80070103) Windows Update fails & Microsoft Security Essentials does not install (error code 0 x 80070643)

  I keep trying to update and all these errors reappear. I can't install Microsoft Security Essentials and any update of Windows. I tried to do system Recoery by pressing F11 after reboot, and it does not work either.  I'm guessing that something might be wrong with the registry or there is a virus but I am not a computer wiz. I don't have the Vista recovery disc and the original disk to restart.  is it possible to fix this?

  I paid to get it to format in November 2010... I installed a fake Windows Vista on it (32 bits but my PC on a 64-bit password) so I had to clean install it.

  I don't understand: If you paid someone to format the HARD drive and do a clean Windows, when install I YOU "installed a 32-bit Vista?"

  If your parent friend had lost the Windows CD comes with the brand new computer, the person you paid use to do the clean install of Vista 64-bit?

  I do not see KB948465 in installed updates, only KB956250 & KB256506

  I asked only KB948465. In any case, KB256506 is not an update or a section of the play.

  No, I never had any other than Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus

  Again, I don't understand. If you have never had any other antivirus MSE and MSE has been installed since November 2010, why you try to 'install Microsoft Security Essentials' now?

  Q: which, if any, of these updates ARE LISTED in updates installed (no update history)?
  A: See the number 3, I don't see anything else apart from those two

  What "number 3"? You see nothing else, in addition to the two updates to date?

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I give up. I can't help you if you do not answer my specific questions in your very next answers!

  I think you'd better take the computer back to the repair shop & pay to figure what's wrong (yet). Good luck.

• 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.
