Don't know if the original issue is resolved or not - antivirus programs wouldn't appear in notification area and no AV user interfaces would start; also, MSE wouldn't install.

Want me to try to install an AV? MSE?

Try all three again.
Avast, Avira, MSE.

Wahoo! MSE installed perfectly.

I'd like to uninstall and put on Avast. Is there a current uninstall tool for MSE or just the Onecare Removal Tool?

Ya done good!!

Good news :)

MSE should uninstall through Add\Remove.

Before I installed MSE, I ran through the Registry and deleted all Norton and Symantec references. Maybe I should do the same thing and delete all references to Microsoft - what do you think?

Okay, just joking :computer_whacking: MSE is uninstalled and Avast runs like a charm!

What do you think was blocking the notification area?

I'm not sure.
It was only one bad entry discovered by MBAM, but it doesn't look like it had anything to do with your problem.

I'd probably vote for removing some garbage.

Good news anyway :)
