tried for over a week to have MS help me; they were supposed to call me this Sat and Sun but never did. Am without security on my system because MSSE crashed and can't uninstall it or reinstall it. Concerned about quality of MSSE and wondering if I should just by Norton or something like that? Here is the question: CANN I INSTALL ANOTHER SECURITY SYSTEM EVEN IF I HAVE MAYBE REMNANTS OF MSSE HANGING AROUND? OR COULD THIS CAUSE EVEN MORE PROBLEMS? WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE. VERY NERVOUS ABOUT MY UNPROTECTED PC!!! Theresa - Windows XP Home Edition1 person got this answerI do too

No, it is NOT recommended at all, if you do that it might cause more problem and errors.For uninstall MSE try:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msestart/thread/29c086a6-eeb0-482a-9634-114def489ceb

Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it. The MS Tech support set up a time again!!! to call me today and they never called!

Forgot to tell you, the uninstall und install does not work. It keeps telling me that it's on a server that is not available - in both cases.

Are you downloading MSE from:http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspxMake sure you download from there.If those support team did not help, you could create another one:try to create support from:https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/
