Computer problems. -.- I'm getting real sick of Microsoft, and Microsoft Security Essentials, and Windows 7.

From best I can tell there was an optional update for the core files of MSE, I went ahead and started doing the update since I was planning to turn my computer off for the afternoon, well, halfway into it my entire computer locked up. After waiting for the better part of an hour I manually turned the computer off, waited five minutes, and turned it back on, booting as normal. Everything goes fine until the login, at which time the screen goes black save for my mouse cursor. From here I can't do anything except power down.

So, I moved to booting up in safe mode to attempt to remedy the problem, in this case a problem with MSE. Only problem is, the program can't be uninstalled from Add/Remove programs, can't be re-installed in safe mode, and the Microsoft Fix-it For Me program on the Microsoft website can't be used in safe mode.

As I'm typing this I'm having my anti-virus program performing a scan just to make sure, my next step will be trying an advanced recovery form, as for some reason my System Restore points have all been fried.

If these all fail I'll be manually deleting the program folder for MSE, and frankly never re-installing it since it's caused me nothing but trouble since I got it.

Edit: Managed to fix it...I think, deleted everything in the MSE folder, and suddenly it boots up just fine. Regardless, let this be a lesson for all Windows 7 users, don't bother with MSE, find yourself your own Anti-virus/Anti-malware programs that are free-to-use for personal use.
