Hi All,
Have you heard of security essentials? The usual thing – You hear about Microsoft outside of MS :) – so in one of my news services I found that MS had finally released the much promised Morro – renamed Security Essentials. I was eager to try it out, so on an old XP machine, I proceeded with the install. Curiously, I ran into this error 0x80070643. After several restarts, I decided to look it up online. Binged it and came up with a few hits.
The error message I saw was pretty generic, but one hint suggested I look up the event log. So I fired up the Event Viewer and lo & behold, there was the very easy to understand error message - “Old version of anti-spyware found”. I proceeded to remove it and hey presto it was up & running.
It detected UltraVNC – the client I use and marked it as a risk, but otherwise, the old pc seems to be fit as a fiddle – amazing! I had ZoneAlarm and GriSoft’s AVGFree running on the home pc. Now I’m running on Windows Firewall and Security Essentials.
