| 1453846 | 2018-09-27 05:04:00 | Hi Team, I got a win 7 pro laptop. There is a version of MS Essentials installed on it which is causing me a lot of problems. I have been spectacularly unsuccessful in removing it. Apparently I need "permission" to do this. Any help with the removal of this beast will be very welcome. Cheers, J |

I log in as only user with full permissions. Have tried all afternoon deleting the beast and/or parts of it to no avail. Everything else program and data wise works OK. MS essentials has worked for the past year or so but seem to have taken exception to a recent update. Will follow link above and report on what happens. Cheers. |

It should have been .....Windows Defender Is this a "good and useful" application ? Or just a resource waster ? Over all the years that I have had this m/c and win 7, (pro ver 6.1.7601 sp1 since about 2008), this app has never been active before. If it doesn't give me ant (new) problems It can stall there I guess. Your thoughts ? Cheers, J1 |
