RE: [Simply Computers] Security Essentials "False Positive"

 

Not seen it, but there are others with MSE who have conflicts with the
backup program. Perhaps time to leave MSE and backup behind? Or dump MSE and
see if backup works with another A/V?

Acronis and Avast have no conflict. I have scheduled backups occurring
daily.

Acronis has a deal for the new version and their plus pack for $30 USD.

Subject: [Simply Computers] Security Essentials "False Positive"

Sad tale of several hours lost. Recent events have set me to checking my
backups. I found that this laptop had failed 4 or 5 recent scheduled
backups.I Clicked on "Backup Now!" and watched. After over a half hour, it
failed with a Microsoft Security Essentials error of 0x80070005. It was over
95% complete, and I lost all the work and time.

This Laptop is a Medeon brand, 2Gb Ram, Vista Home Premium (32 bit), with an
AMD 64 AthlonX2 CPU. The backup Drive is a Western Digital 500 Gb, SCSI
external HDD. (Slow, but that's why auto backup is scheduled for 2AM,Sunday)

A search for the error number turned up a LOT. All were about "Access
Denied" and appeared to start after a recent MS update. Unfortunately, all
the corrections I found applied only to XP, and had strong warnings about
application to other versions.

Backup would not get beyond the False error, so I Tried to disable Security
for a short time. "BIG BROTHER" MS puts massive roadblocks up to prevent
this. I did a search for "Disable Security Essentials, and found thousands,
all starting with "Unable to ".

I did find a way, and that expedient let me make a backup. However, until I
find a way around the "false error", I wont be able to get automatic
backups, at least on this machine.

Have any of you seen any of this?
