    Error code 0x80004004 in Microsoft Security Essentials


    I just installed Microsoft Security Essentials on my computer running Windows 7. After installing I tried updating and showing this error messageMy network is fine and accessible, I used to have Avira Security installed but I removed it.I have tried a few fixes but most of them only apply to Windows Defender of Windows 10 and don't work.I am using Windows 7 Home Premium x64 with a Ryzen 3 3200G.Hope someone can help me fix this, thanks.

    :)

    Windows 10 Windows Defender versus Microsoft Security Essentials

    Hi Bryan,

    Microsoft Security Essentials was upgraded to Windows defender and it was a default security software from Windows 8. You cannot have both as they are one.

    Since you get this annoying popup at the startup i suggest you to disable any Microsoft Security Essentials entries in Startup tab.

    • Open the Task manager. by pressing Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • click on Startup tab
    • Right click on Microsoft Security Essentials entry and click on Disable.

    Restart the computer and check if that helps.
