windows did not pass authentication
by Guest wayneboy- 0 replies
- 49 views
A message that popped up from Security Essentials, said something to the effect that my Windows installation did not pass authentication or validation. It also said to go online to fix this or else Security Essentials would stop protecting within 30 days. When I went online Windows asked my permission to install an add on. I granted permission and was taken to a page that was advertising Windows 7. What is up with all of this? Continue reading...

MSE won't run
by Guest ippiki- 0 replies

Hi, I'm on Windows 7 and have been using MSE for well over a year. Recently, I've noticed my computer running at a sluggish pace and tried to do a scan, but the MSE window closes the instant it opens. Icon vanishes from my toolbar as soon as I move my cursor over it. This also happens when I try to scan individual items. Uninstalled and re-installed it with same problem. MSE is presently the only antivirus/spyware I have installed other than windows defender. Thanks for any help you can provide, sorry if this has been asked before. Continue reading...

Can I get a new product key after losing my HDD and all emails with it?
by Guest Michael Griffin in San- 0 replies
- 57 views
I am a County employee who uses MS Office and often need to take work home. I recently purchased Office Professional 2010 under the Home Use Program. It was purchased online, downloaded and installed but I did get a CD copy by mail afterward. Ten days ago the HDD on my home PC died and was replaced. Backups of data were incomplete and all emails were lost. At the time of the HUP purchase I was not registered with Windows Live -- unless I was automatically registered at the time of purchase under my business email address? if so I have no idea what that password would be -- and so cannot log into my (only hours old, home email address based) account to retrieve the …

I had been using Windows Security Essential 2011 for a while until it had some error during scan. So I decided to uninstall it and re-install afterwards hoping the error I had before will be fixed. First time i tried uninstalling the program, there was an error said it was unable to complete to remove the program and try restarting. However, when I tried again to uninstall from Control Panel, the Windows Security Essential is not on the list and that was not only the thing got worth. Now I cannot even open the Windows Live Essential program; it gives me an error code:0x8001064e and the only the thing I can do is press ok and window that says " An error has oc…

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on a Compaq laptop. Every time I have to do a sysytem restore, for any reason at all and every restore has been for a different reason, I loose all my Microsoft Security Essentials virus definitions.
