Feedback & Support - Fix MSE Utility

**HappyAndyK** · 10-29-2009, 11:00 AM

Microsoft Security Essentials, is an excellent freeware antivirus offering from Microsoft. Microsoft Security Essentials runs quietly and efficiently in the background so that you are free to use your Windows-based PC the way you want—without interruptions or long computer wait times.

However, just in case anytime, you find that you are facing any issues in running Microsoft Security Essentials due to any reasons, simply run this utility. Fix MSE Utility will restore all its registry values & service settings to known good defaults, without re-installing MSE.

And in case this utility does not help you resolve you issue, you may want to consider uninstalling and then again re-installing MSE afresh!

I tested MSE to scan 500 malware samples but, I got disappointed because MSE crashed during scanning session. So it failed and currently checking the source of the problem its either scanner/on-access failure/client itself? No malware was executed during the session.

Going to try this tool ~ thanks

Hi Ramesh,

Please see this thread:
(Unofficial) Repair Microsoft Security Essentials with Fix MSE Utility

What exactly does the Fix MSE Utility?

Thank you very much,

Hi Vincenzo,

The Fix MSE utility restores all the registry values & service settings to known good defaults, without re-installing MSE.

It runs the MpCmdRun.exe" -RestoreDefaults command and is meant for use by the common Windows user who is not normally familiar with the cmd or how to use it.

We have also mentioned that if it does not help, a re-install is the way to go.

Hi HappyAndyK,

Thank you very much for the clarification!

Have a nice day,

@Vincenzo !!! Sorry for delayed reponse... I want to include something more... It also re-registeres Dlls and Exes, required to run MSE properly and check registry values of MSE service.

I have tried to cover most of things as much I can... to avoid a MSE re-install.
Anyhow, If it doesnt help- A re-install is the way to get rid of MSE related problems.
