Microsoft security for Win 7

27. May 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

I'm helping a friend bring a refurbished Win 7 up to speed. I suspect Microsoft Security was removed by the former owner because we can't find it. We are corresponding by Skype so I can't actually touch her computer.  I do my work on Win 8.1, where this post is coming from, so I can't do experiments on my machine to see what she can do.

We can't find the Microsoft Security program in her list of programs.  I'm not sure what it is called on Win 7. 

Is it Microsoft Security Essentials, or Windows Defender, or what? 

Whatever its name is, is it free for Win 7, or will she have to pay?

Please give us a URL for where we can download the appropriate version for Win 7.

Hi There,

would any one be able to advise me on how to change the firewall setting in Microsoft Security Essentials. Since Microsoft Security essentials updated 2 days ago I can't sync with Drop Box. I know I need to change the firewall settings but can't find these when I open up Microsoft Security Essential on my machine. Prior to this update I had no difficulties syncing with Dropbox.

Functioning Windows Live Mail 2012 stopped sending and receiving messages for my MSN email account.  New mail and folders viewable and usable on outlook.com.

I have reviewed most questions regarding this issue on the community site and I have found no solution, so I need HELP.

My machine is running Windows 7 64-bit.  Computer protected by Microsoft Security Essentials.

On 5/9/2014 Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU] (3.1.0000) was installed.  (I did NOT do this.)  I do not run SQL server and do not need it. I notice that SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 [ENU] and x64 [ENU] are present and installed 5/19/2011.  I may not need these unless they are needed by the system or other programs.  This may have been the cause or related to the issue.  No other recent program installation activity

Updates are current.  No update installed in the last few days when checked in Control panel.

When my Norton360 ran out I installed Microsoft Security Essentials but since then I've been unable to get onto the internet.

The message I get is:-

THE PROXY SERVER ISN'T RESPONDING.

CHECK PROXY SETTINGS 127.0.0.1:58226 FROM CHARMS, GO TO CHANGE PC SETTINGS>NETWORK>PROXY.

MAKE SURE FIREWALL SETTINGSAREN'T BLOCKING YOUR WEB ACCESS.

I've tried to follow the directions but nothing is being fixed as it stays as it is.

Please help as I'm not sure exactly what to do.

HOW Do the 50-million or so customers who live and/or work abroad download Microsoft add-ons in our own language?

We need/want/would like to download such simple programs as "Microsoft Security Essentials" in a Language we can gawdarned READ.

When we go to a Microsoft and have the page and language set to English, and we go to a download, it always appears in some gobbldygook regional language we dont read (and its not just Microsoft).

So HOW in heck do we do it?

Is it really so gawdarned hard to give us a damn CHOICE of the language we want to install in?

Did nobody tell anyone at Microsoft that English is the INTERNATIONAL Buisness language of Choice?

So; Should it not be the SECOND INSTALL OPTION ON ALL PROGRAMS AND/OR ADD-ON`S???

Why does it drag its feet over the issue?

windows live mail error 0x800ccc0f and 800ccc0e

Your IMAP command could not be sent to the server, due to non-network errors. This could, for example, indicate a lack of memory on your system.

Configuration:
   Account: Brian (CompleteRecon)
   Server: imap.secureserver.net
   User name: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
   Protocol: IMAP
   Port: 993
   Secure(SSL): 1
   Code: 800ccc0e


and  I also get code: 0x800ccc0f


I have use Microsoft security essentials, windows firewall and my Email is hosted by godaddy.  I followed there exact instructions on setting the email up for IMAP and I have disabled windows firewall and no matter what I do I still get this error.  I have read and followed many suggestions on these forms but still nothing.  Any help is GREATLY appreciated.


Brian
