    Microsoft Security Essentials

    Near the end of December Microsoft released a new version of Microsoft Security Essentials. The older version was Version 1.xxx and the new one is Version 2.xxx. One of the big differences is that now you can install MSE on servers including Server 2008 and Server 2008R2. However one of the changes that is not advertised is the Real-time Protection feature behaviour of MSE when it encounters what it believes to be a virus. In version 1 you were presented with a red bordered screen which was basically the same as the home tab, with a big "Clean your computer" button and a "details" option. If you selected details option it would show you the file name and location and you had a choice of Remove, Quarentine, or Allow the file in question. In version 2 the allow option is missing. I have done limited testing but it appears that the only way to allow a file that would be flagged as a virus is to put it in the exception list first. If you forget to do that the file is flagged and your only choice is quarentine. If you go ahead and quarentine it, then you can add it to the exclusion list, but when you then try to restore it MSE detects it as a virus again and your are in a locked loop. I was able to finally get a file allowed by quarentining it and then going into history and removing it altogether. Then I put it in the exclusion list by path and name, and re-copied onto the system. Then it was ok. What a pain. I don't know it it acts this way for all suspected virus files because I didn't have a big test base, but before you update this new version be aware of this change.

    A side note. If you have version 1 and go into help | check for updates it will tell you that you have the latest version. If you go to Microsoft's web site and download version 2 and run it on your system you will be presented the option to upgrade.

    I need my computer to act as if I had never installed Office14. Is this the tool for me? If so, what should I run to completely delete Office14 and all traces of it?

    Just an update - even though Toolkit 2.0.1 uses a different form of trojan to avoid detection by AV programs, Norton 360 and Internet Security are now identifying kmsemulator.exe as a Trojan.Gen2 trojan. Seems like the best solution will be to remove the trojan from kmsemulator, or this will be a game of "cat and mouse".

    It isn't a trojan that is in the new toolkit, it is an altered KMS activator to make KMS not trip AVs. There doesn't appear to be a trojan in KMSemulator, the old or new form - it is a false positive. So the "trojan" can't be "removed" like you state. If you have any ideas on altering the KMS emulator to remove the false positives, or indeed trojan if you have found one, I'm sure people on this forum will be happy to listen to how it's done.

    Also I knew of that FP long ago. Nothing can be done except run it from RAM and then AV's will just flag the toolkit itself anyway.

    Hey guys, I read in zdnet that Microsoft shut down the activation process for Office 2010. Does that mean that we don't need activation tools like this one anymore or do I still need to use this activation tool? I'm wanting to install Office 2010 (I have 2007) but I'm not sure yet.

    They killed OGA, not activation. OGA is what makes it say not genuine when you DL from MS Office Downloads.

    I used the uninstall tool and it worked like a charm; however, when I installed Office again, it automatically installed the KMS Activator. How do I remove it? It doesn't work well with my AV.

    I originally activated my version of Office 2010 with a MAK but I want to redo my pc. I see that the office 2010 toolkit has a back up activation settings feature. Has anyone tried this? Does this really work? Has anyone out there reinstalled Office 2010 and reactivated it successfully with the back up activation settings they saved?
