    From an Administrators account, I opened the Command Prompt by clicking on "Run as Administrator" and I performed the step 1, but I get the "System Error 5: Access is denied." message. How come?

    Thanks

    Please verify if you are a Administrator on that desktop. If you are not a part of Administrator and even if you Run the command prompt as a administrator then also you will get Access is denied.

    So very if your account what you are using is a standard user or a Administrator account.

    Hi There,

    Please show me the result of the below as screen shot in the thread.

    Are you getting the disable icon and is it greyed out on the Local area connection when you right click ?

    Hi Balubeto,

    Can you Paste me the Local area connection icon as well as below what i have pasted please.

    Right click and you will get the options like mine as below.

    Also type the below command in the command prompt and see if your user name comes like how mine has come there ? Paste me the screenshot as well.

    command is:  net localgroup administrators

    If your name does not appear on the list where i have boxed once you paste the command then you will not have privileges to stop and start services.

    Try this:

    Taskkill /im msmpsvc.exe /f
    or
    Taskkill /im msmpsvc /f

    And also this:

    Taskkill /im msseces.exe /f

    Here the screenshot of Command Prompt as you told me.

    You are seeing the effects of an ongoing infection, one which (I presume) predates the install of Microsoft Security Essentials. See this previous, related discussion in the Consumer-specific forums.

    To try to disable MSE when Windows starts, I created this bat file:

    @echo off
taskkill /im msseces.exe /f /t
taskkill /im MsMpEng.exe /f /t
net stop MsMpSvc
sc config "MsMpSvc" start= disabled

    Next, I created a scheduled task

    so that it goes running with the System's rights when the system starts up.

    When, however, I rebooted the system, the MSE service is still active. How come?

    Where did I do wrong?

    Thanks

    Using the registry of Windows 7 SP1, how do I disable the real-time protection and to prevent the startup of MSE when Windows is started?

    Also, always using the registry of Windows 7 SP1, how do I set to "On demand" the Microsoft Antimalware Service?

    Thanks

    Unfortunately, in the forum mentioned above, no one knows how to modify the registry to do what I would do.

    So, anyone want to help me?

    If you've begun your own, new thread in the Consumer-specific forums, please give me a link to it. If you haven't, you need to do so.

    The first thing you need to do is make sure the computer's no longer infected.

    The second thing to do is tell us (either forum) why you'd want to disable MSE from loading at boot?

    This is the thread that I started http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/mse-protect_start/the-microsoft-security-essentials-keys-and-entries/ecc64767-1fc4-4dc7-a5f5-562239dcbcc4 .

    Logically, I'm sure that the computer is not infected as this is almost never connected to the Internet and I do not put almost never peripherals of external mass.

    I need that the MSE and Microsoft Antimalware Service are started manually to conserve system resources. Also, I would be comfortable use the system registry when it is offline.

    Thanks

    Hi There,

    Quiet a complicated issue you have.

    Microsoft has designed this new setup in such a way that no one can kill this.
    The older versions did not have such a issue.

    Any ways i found a solution for you but requires a third pary tool as no Internal tool can kill this process.

    You need to download this app called "Process Hacker" from: http://processhacker.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

    Post that install it and Search for this process and right click and select Terminate tree like in the below screenshot.

    Post that you will see a baloon like in the below saying that the Antivirus is not working






    Then go to Start ---> Run --> Type services.msc and then search for Microsoft anti malware serive and that would have been stopped. 
    This indicates that that antivirus has been killed.

    To start it back right click the service and select start ot make it work back.

    If it does not kill do the above once again.

    Hi Balubeto,

    This process is totaly intor some Kernel mechanism which the normal cmd.exe or powershell or any other MS tool such as pskill also cannot do.

    3rd party applications are designed to do so. Below is 1 example i was able to find.

    Why is Process Hacker able to kill processes that no other tools can kill?
    Process Hacker loads a driver that searches memory for an internal Microsoft kernel function and calls it. This special function is not known to be hooked by any malware and security software.
