by Guest MW Bronsdon- 0 replies
- 144 views
Hi Folks: I'm sure someone in this forum will have a good suggestion for me. Here goes: 1. Running 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. MS Security Essentials. 2. Infected with some malware ("Win7 Antispyware 2012") and successfully removed and scanned OK with updated MSE profiles and MS antimalware scan. 3. Couldn't turn on Windows Firewall. Followed directions on post to reset services, and now OK. 4. Now in Action Center I get the message "Windows Security Center service is turned off." When prompted to turn it on, message is "The Windows Security Center service can't be started." No error code included. 5. Have tried to reset the service, but I cannot find any service…

Features in the next release?
by Guest dcybela- 0 replies
- 111 views
Can you give us some idea of what the next major release will contain? Is there a way to temporarily suspend MSE for a period of time, similar to other security packages? If not, can it be considered as a feature in a future release? Have you thought about having a web page rating system and link scanner? Protecting "us" from bad websites is one of the major ways "we" get infected. Continue reading...

Internet Explorer will only connect through IE 64-bit
by Guest daniellesimone- 0 replies
- 134 views
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, IE 9 has just been installed because the previous software was not responding and would not allow me to browse the internet. Firefox has also recently stopped working and "cannot find server" despite perfect internet connection. The only way I can use IE is if I run the 64-bit version and this is just slow and horrible. I have installed/unistalled, checked firewall and connectivity settings, done a system restore, looked through a million and one forums and discussion boards, crossed my fingers and toes, troubleshooted my entire computer, disabled security and firewall software... AND STILL NOTHING!!! I am at my wits end, I need some help,…

I've seen several entries regarding sp1 instalation errors, but none with this one: falat error c0000034 applying update operation Machine is x64 (intel core i7), with 8gb mem tried installing sp1 via windows update. there were three patches to install, one of them, sp1 did the two first, before, and then tried sp1. It failed while rebooting (not remember the code, sorry), but i was able to do a system restore to pre-sp1. them, got the full SP1 media from msdn, and did install it in offilne mode. Setup looked faster (of course?) and in reboot, this fatal error c0000034 appeared. But this time, no option for system restore. if i try to enter in safe mode,…

IE9: Changing the default download option from 'save' to 'save as'
by Guest Thomas Higgins- 0 replies
- 127 views
While I have sent feedback into Microsoft, I thought I might post here aswell. In IE9 when you click a download, a pop-up from the bottom asks 'Do you want to open or save file.xxx from x.com' then gives you the option to 'Open' 'Save' or 'Cancel' During testing, we found that users would just click 'Save' then not know where the file they downloaded went. After explaining that it was in the downloads, they complained that previously they just chose where to save the file and it saved there. Now they have to open downloads and copy paste to the location. We could teach the users to always drop down and select 'Save as' but I can tell you it would be a lot easier if the…

Windows Security Essentials Alert Problem
by Guest utk2016- 0 replies
- 130 views
Windows security alert icon shows in my tray. When I clicked on it, the window for firewall and automatic updates came up. It said the firewall was off but the auto updates was on. Went to the start menu to bring up the menu and changed to turn on the firewall. Now the firewall is on but the automatic updates is off and I can't get it to go back on when I hit apply and ok. Now when I hit the security alert icon, a window comes up saying 'what do you want to open the program with?'. I also did a scan with the Malware program which indicated 5 infections, which I deleted. That's when things seemed to really mess up. Any ideas? Continue reading...

Is it legal to use MSE in a non-profit organisation?
by Guest P Webb- 0 replies
- 128 views
As far as I can tell reading the license agreement it is a bit grey with the balance of probability being that it is not permitted. If it is a commercial organisation of up to 10 machines that is allowed. If I as an individual install it in a non-profit organisation or an educational establishment - that is NOT allowed. As the IT dept of a small non-profit organisation (a baptist church with 4 PCs and no servers) that leaves me slightly concerned about the legal ramifications. If we were a company making money then it would be no problem. The only possibly vaguely legal way I could see what I want to do being legal is to create a company which potentially could be…
