Microsoft security essentials winxp 64

My point about deleting the comment and reply were made because I wrote the wiki to explain the situation with MSE on XP, not to provide guidance on how to continue using MSE on XP as if all were well after end of life.

I want the article to be comprehensive, accurate, and helpful in providing information about best practices. In fact, using XP is not a best practice.

As I outlined in the wiki, for those who have no other option than to use XP, steps to minimize the risks should be taken. If, after doing all that, one wanted to change the MSE status to green, fine. However, I suspect that those seeking to change the status or remove warning simply want to use XP with MSE in the same manner as before. By the way, I cannot delete you, ban you, or otherwise. I have no reason to report you for abuse, either. People are going to continue to use XP beyond the 8th April.

This does not neccessarily mean that they are foolish. Neither does it mean that they are not aware of the risks. This might be days for some people, for others it might be months or even years. Just how many times do you think it is neccesary for the warning to be displayed before someone "gets the message"? If someone is prepared to take the steps to get rid of the message, surely it is a good bet that they are doing it because they understand its content but have chosen, for whatever reasons, to live with the risk of continuing with XP and therefore consider the message to be an annoyance that they can do without?

Even more so if they have decided to do some research and ended up at your Wiki. Who are we "Answers" to play nanny? Let's just help them live with the consequences of their decision in the most convenient way. Shame on Microsft for apparently making this a permanent "feature".

And shame on Microsoft for pulling the XP download. If they have made the decision to support MSE on XP until July 14, they should at least allow it to work in the fashion to which its users have become accustomed and permit re-installation via download should it become necessary. After all, apparently the decision to extend MSE's life was taken "To help organizations complete their migrations".

Note that the actual phrase used employs the word "help" not "coerce". I would suggest that after a short while the message does nothing to help and just becomes an annoyance. It's your Wiki, I would suggest that you might want to do the research into your ideas about how to eliminate the message and edit your Wiki accordingly. According to you there is nothing to fear in doing this. IMO you risk alienating people by putting on a caveat implying they are fools.

In all probablility, if they have ended up here, they are far from foolish. The warning pop-up, which floats away after a few moments, and the red icon are fairly innocuous. I don't intend to provide information on how to accomplish this via the wiki.

My advice is to remove MSE and use a different security product. Stephen Boots MVP. Technical Level : Basic Summary Version 4.
