Well just WAIT for the OTHER SHOE to drop!

After you UPGRADE, Windows 10 Apps UPGRADE PAST your device drivers and NO LONGER WILL WORK!

The Facebook app updated past my Direct3D settings and now no longer works!

This happened to my XP laptop that I upgraded to Windows 10

I tried reinstalling the MSE program from a copy on my laptop, but after a reboot. Microsoft said it was INVALID and shut it down!

If you choose to keep it, it will probably just NAG until you remove it.

Microsoft Update may try to download the last XP update for Microsoft Security Essentials as KB2949787. Don’t allow it!

Use the Custom Install option and uncheck the MSE Update. The last update will turn the MSE icon red forever and pop up a disgusting Warning box EVERY TIME at Startup. It may also pop up at other times.

Unchecking the MU install will hide it from further updates hopefully.

MSE can be updated internally in the program itself for new malware definitions without the last update. MSE will still be updated by M$ even for XP!

I tested all of this on my own XP. So far so good.

You cannot UNINSTALL the update! Uninstalling MSE ends use.

Want more updates?

Thanks, I’ll give it a try!

None of the button boxes work either: Save, Go Advanced, Delete, Cancel. I have to refresh the page or go back to get out of it. I cannot enter anything in the box area either!

There is nothing in the window to EDIT!

This is all I see!

PS: I STILL cannot EDIT a post here in Windows 7!

The WORST FREE is BETTER than nothing! I’ve HAD the “best” and STILL got infected! Some of the BEST programmers in the world can BUILD IT and TEAR IT APART!

We will never have a perfect answer to people who want tp destroy things because building is a lot harder than tearing things down…

Apparently MSE cannot be re-installed once it is removed. Another site offers MSE, but it wants you to download other JUNK. At Microsoft Update I found my history with several definition updates marked red as not installed. The KB2949787
update did not have an uninstall in Windows either. According to M$, MSE will be updated for XP until July 2015.

Currently my XP laptop only has MalwareBytes Anti-Exploit and Anti-Malware.

Yes, Microsoft Update will supply you with updates to XP and MSE, just make sure not to install the last MSE update. Avoid KB2949787. Otherwise you will get the red MSE icon and the warning box every startup. If Windows Update offers updates, do them manually using the customize option. Unchecking an update hides it from later being added. You can update them later by going to the MU site and checking for all updates. Then look at the Hidden Updates to restore them.

MSE can still be updated in the application so far. I don’t know if there may be other KB updates sent, but MSE will supposedly still be updated with new definitions which may also be done manually.

Ran my old hard drive for a week 24 hours a day and it got kinda slow so I rebooted and everything worked fine!

I’m thinking that the Acronis Drive Monitor was actually scheduling a Check Disk on reboot and may have cause the Memory Dumps too!

Microsoft Security Essentials without the last Update from Windows Update installed can still be updated through the MSE program itself. The icon stays green and there is no End of XP Service Warning.

Well on my email REIMAGE MOVED IN to tell me that I have 425 problems all on it’s own thanks to your latest newsletter. BUY NOW with NO X BOX either!

Google Chrome says: message contains content that’s typically used to steal personal information.

Is this your fault or was my email hacked?

You will still get updates for two years. After that it’s quite possible that you will have no issues for a long time. To make sure you have a robust system working for a long time, apply a good backup strategy, preferably using imaging, making sure you have multiple images that you can resort to, in case of need.

Where did you get the TWO YEARS information? The updates for the OS are DONE! IE MAY give a few more, but the only updates other than that will be for dangerous programs like Word and Office. Maybe VB or .NET

I still have a 98SE and I can connect to the internet, but IE6 kinda stinks nowadays. Windows’ biggest problem is the browser and Office!
