Activate Windows Defender

• Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open

  I installed Microsoft Security Essentials today and I'm trying to edit startup programs. Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open.  However, most of the security will not allow Windows Defender be turned on and I want to change the startup parameters.  How can I accomplish this?

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

  And now edit startup in Vista without using Defender programs, use one of the following methods:

  =================================

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I can't turn on Windows Defender. Is this a common problem? A way to start the program or remove and reload?

  What AV program do you use? (Not to mention your operating system). If you have MSE, or an installed security suite, it will automatically stop WD as it has its own version and runs two programs of this type at the same time causes conflicts.

  Hello OnePennyShort,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  I recommend that you look at the solutions of the following missions:
  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/itprovistaapps/thread/f5536f2d-ACEB-41A5-beb6-92e5d3b2f73f

  If this does not help then try the following suggestion:
  Right click on command prompt and run as administrator. Type the following command:
  WinMgmt /verifyrepository
  If the system returns "referential WMI is not consistent", run this command:
  WinMgmt /salvagerepository
  The first time you run this operation fails. (It will assign orders to stop services leading to failure. "This may take a few minutes for the services to stop). Run the command again. You may in fact need to run 3 times before finally runs and ends on its own.
  Reboot your system.

• Need help activate Windows Defender

  I was recently scammed for my contact information of credit card of people claiming to be the call from Microsoft, they had remote access to my computer, I now find to be very slow and the homepage has changed color and I now have more icons on the screen. I tried to access Defender but it seems Defender is stopped, I tried to turn it back on, but keep, get a message saying "Windows Defender encountered an 0x80004003.invalid pointer error" can anyone help.

  Hello

  Read this, all that you should do when you give remote access to fraudsters.

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.
