Continuation of the work Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows XP after April 8, 2014




Today, faced with the termination of the antivirus Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows XP. As you know, April 8, 2014 ended support Windows XP, so Microsoft decided to disable antivirus and for this system. Messages that MSE will work another year for this system is not justified - is available as a distribution version 4.4.304.0 works, but the new version 4.5.216.0, which is automatically installed with security updates, disables antivirus and warns the user that OS is outdated and from it is time to get rid of. But too many people use the system and this handy Antivirus, so I found a solution that allows the antivirus to work on.

The solution turned out to be an undocumented key in the settings of antivirus:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Microsoft Antimalware \ Signature Updates] & quot; ExpiryNotificationIntervalDays & quot; = dword: ffffffff  code>  pre> 

At the moment, this is the first and only solution on the internet, with completely legal, which can be quickly set up users. As already April 9 system administrators expects a lot of calls that antivirus stopped working, and prompt decision must not replace antivirus. Keep in mind that to make this tweak will need to set the right branch of the registry, the default entry in it is prohibited. Also, you can use my solution here , where the key is written to the registry without the permission changes, and that distribution is installed on Windows XP SP2 (includes necessary updates) and above, on any architecture.
