    There is a way to remove MSE 4.10 Vista EOL timebomb by patching MSE 4.10 executable? Because I heard that MSE 4.10 stops working after 11 April 2017, and MSE 4.4 continues to work on Windows Vista even after the EOL, but I also heard that MSE 4.10 works properly on Windows Server 2008, however, so, it is possible to remove the MSE 4.10 Vista EOL timebomb by patching MSE 4.10 executable in order to make MSE 4.10 work on Windows Vista just like it does on Windows Server 2008?

    If there is a way to get MSE 4.10.209.0 to install and work in Windows Vista SP2 64-bit (has Windows Server 2008 updates to January 2022), I would also like to know how to do it.

    Why do you need MSE? Use something like Clamwin + Malwarebytes :)

    MSE is better than Clamwin and has real-time protection.

    But the real-time protection will use the CPU, especially on machines of Vista era.

    And... MSE 4.10 is functional for me, but it fails to update definitions

    Try installing them manually, you need to capture URL from Windows 7 for definition update and install manually on Vista

    And I am talking about Microsoft Security Essentials 4.10 and Windows Vista, NOT about Windows Defender

    Same process as I posted from my example - download MSE definitions and extract them into MSE definitions folder

    I tried your method for Windows Defender, and:

    Hrm... I am found that files inside mpam-fe.exe and mpas-fe.exe is SHA-256 signed, so, maybe it is causing this problem

    No, but I am planning to make a fully updated Windows Vista AIO ISO up to 2022-02 (which will also include .NET Framework 4.8 + PowerShell 3.0 + USB 3.0 drivers + Product RED Content Pack (Ultimate only) + Ultimate Extras (Ultimate only) + Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008 (Home Premium and Ultimate only) + Wireless Feature Pack (for beauty only, because SP2 already include WFP features) + Visual C++ (all versions from 2005 up to 2022, and both x86 and x64 versions will be included) + Microsoft Tinker Level Editor + Microsoft Silverlight 5.1.50918.0 + Microsoft Security Essentials 4.10.309.0 + Windows Live Essentials 2011), but this ISO will not include Windows Vista Extended Kernel by win32, however, you can still install it manually, also, if possible, I will try to make a fully updated Windows Server 2008 AIO ISO up to 2022-02. So, I need to update definitions after fully updating Windows Vista?

    Then that's probably why your MSE isn't working. Update it to 2022-02.
