    security essentials not updating.


    Dir Experts,

    I have installed a fresh copy of windows 7 32 bit and then I installed security essentials on windows 7. When I update security essentials, it downloads and installs and after that again starts downloading and hitting error message network or internet connectivity problem.


    Regards

    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.
