Kernel Krumpet Posted September 3, 2010 ID:308612 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I did until my outdated version of Java caught up to me. Now I keep MSE installed just to be on the safe side. Thanks for your honesty, fast response and upfrontness. Love it!I think I'm gonna change my own tag line to "mostly not nice" - you've inspired me!

Kernel Krumpet Posted September 3, 2010 ID:308616 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I think I'm gonna change my own tag line to "mostly not nice" - you've inspired me!Hmmmm apparently I am unable to find where to put "mostly not nice" so it shows up in the same location - whatever it's called - as "mostly cantankerous"Shall I keep digging or is it not possible? Is it part of the avatar?tia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernel Krumpet Posted September 4, 2010 ID:309072 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I have MSE & MBAM (real-time) running on a notebook with XP Pro, sys with 384 MB RAM.Buy more RAM from Crucial or 4AllmemoryBuy 2GB!Purchasing more RAM is always the best and most cost effective way to allow both the user and their software to be more productive. And, *shocking I know* to actually have fun with your PC!Unless of course you use IE set to keep 856GB of temp files! In that case "Programs" "Accessories" "Disk Clean" - if you never did it - preceded by IE "Tools" "Internet Options" "Settings" and crank down the temp files to somewhere 'twixt 50 and 100.by the way, how's that "I got a great deal on a computer" working for you?<----- I dislike my 2x4 cynicism Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernel Krumpet Posted September 4, 2010 ID:309079 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I found it in the "Edit Profile Information" section of "My Controls" listed as "Custom member title".It appears, sadly for me, that I lack the status required.

DarkSnakeKobra Posted September 4, 2010 ID:309319 Share Posted September 4, 2010 @mountaintreeYou said earlier Please privde more detail if possible.I have MSE & MBAM (real-time) running on a notebook with XP Pro, sys with 384 MB RAM.I "had" until just recently experienced a whole lot of sluggishness and very slow repsonse during latter part of August.But those I believe were due to having opted into Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update.Once I reverted back to Windows Update the issues went away.It did not have to do with running MSE & MBAM together.There are a raft of posts on MS social forums about sluggish systems and the current opinion is that it affects (mainly but not always) systems with low physical RAM (say 512 MB or less) and seemingly XP systems.Mind you I read a post that reported the sluggishness on a Vista system. Just curious to find out the particular parameters you notice.She's referring to this.http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?s...mp;#entry181018There are known conflicts on xp systems with mse and mbam. Mostly just freezing issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Naggar Posted September 4, 2010 ID:309325 Share Posted September 4, 2010 To Buttons, mountaintree, Arthur:No sweat on my count. MSE is set to exclude for MBAM components.I had probed for details only to get some parameters of others' experiences.Mine have to do with a limited but seemingly extra-special coincidences.That is, relating to extremely slow response by system overall whena) system is set for Microsoft Update (not Windows Update)B: seeing multiple occurrences running of Windows update clientand c) mainly, though not always, XP systems with RAM at 512 MB or less{ without necessarily having MBAM or MSE ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoKenny1 Posted September 5, 2010 ID:309608 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I just found this Rogue:MSIL/Zeven wants a piece of the Microsoft Security Essentials piemmpc 1 Sep 2010 2:00 PMA new rogue has started making its appearance from compromised websites: Rogue:MSIL/Zeven. We received a sample (70be8ca73142922fd78acf2aafa9f141a977f15a) and a URL and began our investigation. http://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2010/09/01/rogue-msil-zeven-wants-a-piece-of-the-microsoft-security-essentials-pie.aspxKey commentIt seems that these guys want to profit on the good reputation and success of Microsoft Security Essentials in order to make money - but we remind our customers that Microsoft Security Essentials can be downloaded at no cost. And it really does protect your computer from malware! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Naggar Posted September 5, 2010 ID:309681 Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) Hello Haider,Preface: The conversation has drifted off the very original issue of this topic. My inquiries were only to get some detail.You can see many reported issues of microsoft updates & "pc" slowdowns at Microsoft forums:wuaudt.exe is really bogging down my computerhttp://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums...05-33dcf9a9a03bUpdates are taking up a high percentage of the CPU and bogging the computer downhttp://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums...ired&ppud=4MBAM is not necessarily involved in the mix.MSE is not necessarily always involved.Systems set with Windows Update as the update source are not involved. (apparently).To your #2: You'd have to use something like Sysinternals (Microsoft) Process Explorer to monitor.To your #3: Issues are very unlikely to be reported or see on systems with large physical RAM. especially at 3 GB <w>Note that one individual reported problem on a Vista system with 1 GB RAM.

mountaintree16 Posted September 5, 2010 ID:309738 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Maurice,My apologies for missing your inquiry to me earlier. Buttons is correct, the exclusions page from the Common Issues, Questions, and Solutions is where I got my information from.I also need to re-read this thread over some more, very informative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
