    Hello

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

    If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

    And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

  • I can't update the Windows Defender definitions and get this message: the program can't check for definition updates. Error: Code 0xc8000408.

    Impossible to find info on what this means or what to do so I can again update in Windows Defender. This error message has begun to appear recently, or at least I think. I thought it was set to automatic update, but when I tried to do it manually because it says it's expired. Tried several times but get the same message every time.

    You are welcome. Your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or networks without a fully functional antivirus, completely update installed application. But first, let's take care of any Norton "leftovers"...

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    Now, you will need to download/install an antivirus application. While I do not recommend professionally AVG, you might find that AVG Free 9.0 more compatible if you choose a CUSTOM this time installation above and don't install NOT of Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
       http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Otherwise, I can recommend Microsoft Security Essentials*, Avira AntiVirand Avast (all free) and NOD32 and Kaspersky (not the suites 'internet security'). After you have installed your AV application selected, manually & repeatedly updated until you get one invites 'no more updates'.

    [Avoid Norton & McAfee IMHO applications.]

    =============================
    * Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) includes components of antivirus and antispyware protection. The latter will replace (and must turn off automatically) Windows Defender in Vista.

  • I'm updating my windows defender and I installed mse or norton, but is not install what is the reason behined it

    When I update windows at this point that I uninstall norton and after uninstalling it I updated windows defender and after one day, when I want to install microsoft security essential, then it installs but it is not updatable. I want the reason

    If you install MSE, norton or any other program that provides a real-time protection, windows Defender must be turned off.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

    The reason is that you want only one program installed and active on your system that offers protection in real time as two or more can cause conflicts and slowing down your system.

    Say for examle you picked up a well known spyware, and you had both windows defender and MSE running, they would both try and catch it and this would lead to a variety of problems.

    The best would be to install a good antivirus software and turn off and ignore the windows Defender

    * Note that the same streets of wanting 1 also applies to firewalls.  If you choose to intall norton, and the version you install has its own firewall you want to disable the windows firewall.

  • I deleted the windows defender and you want to restore

    There is this software on my computer which safely remove files... I thought that it wont remove windows files. but when I tried on windows defender in program files, it has actually deleted it. I didn't modify other files dll. is possible that I can get this windows defender main .exe file. If someone (of confidence) could download this specific file to google docs and share me the link so that I can download and put it in my computer, while the windows Defender will work again.

    Thank you

    Fatah68,

    If you have removed Windows Defender of Program Files folder, you can use the System File Checker to replace any missing files:
