So I brought my personal machine in from home that came with windows 7 pro in to be sure. I had to set the policies to LM/NTM (option 1) I believe. then I was able to login and map drive fine. So I took machine back home and went out and bought upgrade for new machine we had bought and upgraded to windows pro 7. but I come right back to the same issue on new m…

No MSE icon in Win 7 Notification Area
by Guest JeremyWW- 0 replies
- 124 views
First off: I am an extremely experienced Win 7 user and fully IT literate. So, this is Win 7 Pro x64, MSE v4 Beta 64 Bit. I have no other security tools whatsoever installed on this machine - the last was NOD32 which was uninstalled normally followed by using the ESET Uninstaller in Safe Mode to make sure. I have just switched on - no MSE icon in the notification area (no, it's not hidden). The service is running as I get a pop-up if I try to download eicar.com and I can see it in Process Explorer, but I can't access the GUI. I'm about to reboot, but I'm curious to know if any other Win 7 users have had this issue. Continue reading...
