Repair Microsoft Security Essentials

windows softwareMicrosoft’s new security software Microsoft Security Essentials has been getting some good reviews since the first public beta version got released by Microsoft. The security application is now available as a final version to protect computer systems from malicious software. The security program is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Some users have reported Microsoft Security Essentials crashes and other errors that prevent the tool from protecting the computer system. The Fix MSE Utility has been designed for those users. It can repair a Microsoft Security Essentials installation by resetting all Registry and other settings to their default values. The same could be achieved by uninstalling and installing the software program but the benefit of using the Fix MSE Utility is speed.

The portable software program is compatible with the same operating systems that Microsoft Security Essentials is compatible with. It will display a small program window upon startup that looks like the following:

The window contains a small description of the program’s functionality as well as a Fix MSE button which will start the repair of the Microsoft Security Essentials installation. The Microsoft Security Essentials program itself has to be closed during that process to avoid further complications.

The Fix MSE Utility is available at the Windows Club forum.
