Microsoft Security Essentials Update Error
Microsoft Security Essentials Update Error can make you crazy because everything seems normal and there is no specific error as well. Microsoft Security Essential is a great anti-virus and anti-spyware software. I found this software more efficient, light weight and easy to use. Now coming back to original point I am going to discuss a very common problem that can happen anytime in windows. I hope most of the people new and seen this error message that on startup of windows system says “at least one service is disabled”. This can cause lots of problems in most of the programs running on windows Like I said in the title “Microsoft Security Essential Update Error”.

I’ve tried everything on here. I’m having problems updating MSE due to removal of Live Security Platinum. I’ve scanned the computer with numerous malware programs. I was finally able to get MSE to open and even update once and then ran a full scan. Afterward MSE could not update. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled. Still will not update.
When I run the regsvr32 wuaueng.dll I get another error message:
The module “wuaueng.dll” was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.
