Jenni X -- Blog - Windows Stuff PDF Print E-mail

Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) are not essential. They do serve a purpose, but you may find yourself wanting them to not run. Here's how:

  • Open the application 
    • click the MSE icon in the task-bar
    • find MSE from the start menu
    • navigate to or click start->run and enter "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials\msseces.exe"
  • From the control panel
  • go to the ‘Settings’ tab 
  • Un-tick the ‘Turn on real-time protection’ checkbox
  • Microsoft Security Essentials is now disabled
