Press any key to continue . . .

I have deleted the folder out of the %temp% as well as in the %Appdata%. In Program dir I still have
a folder Microsoft Security Client. In the Programdata under Microsoft I have Microsoft Antimalware and Microsoft Security Essentials and unable to delete any of them.
I am unable to stop the service running MSMPSVC with "TaskKill" using both the name and PID
When I go into Services I am unable to change the Start-up type is on auto and unable to Stop or Pause as well.

Can someone please help out. I hoping there is an easy fix so I don't have to rebuild.
Thanks in advance

Hi see if Noel's post helps,
Need Someone to take a look at my .CBS Files.

As far as another a-v disabling MSE I doubt that they would however disable windows defender which is already disabled by MSE.

Hi:

1PW said:

You do not need to uninstall MSE. Any truly top rated successor antivirus application will simply disable MSE during its installation phase.

That may be a bit of an over-generalization?

For Kaspersky products, as an example, it is in fact always strongly recommended that other AVs be cleanly and thoroughly uninstalled prior to installing, using the vendor's removal tool, if available.

If the user does not do so, KIS/KAV/PURE/KTS will automatically attempt to remove (rather than disable) MSE and a host of other incompatible applications during its installation, as listed here (certain others must be removed manually).
If the existing AV installation is corrupted or broken, then KIS/KAV/PURE/KTS may have trouble uninstalling it, and that could lead to a KIS/KAV/PURE/KTS install failure.
Even if the install succeeds, Kaspersky products, as well as many other security products, can be finicky about leftover drivers and other remnants of other security products.


Cheers,
