  Hello

  Defender is not sufficient protection

  you need to install antivirus protection

  you would have had a free trial for a new AV subscription

  This program must be removed before installing another AV

  read this information on the Defender:

  ·                         If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default

  the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender

  and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware

  It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do

  If the above does not apply to your machine to read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/disable-Windows-Defender-service-in-Windows-Server-2008-or-Vista/

  and here is the method to remove it from startup in vista

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/remove-Windows-Defender-from-Vista-system-startup/

  and this is how you would normally activate or disable windows defender in vista from within defenders of own and options tools

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/disable-Windows-Defender-for-Microsoft-Vista/

  either of these programs free antivirus try after removing any trial that is always installed

  or Microsoft Security Essentials

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=e1605e70-9649-4A87-8532-33d813687a7f

  scan your system for malware;

  Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

  You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

  Please, in the future, remove all the verbiage above when you ask for a
  issue. It has nothing to do with your question.

  You are running Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton or McAfee?
  If you run one of those, she didn't have Defender. It's
  good, not bad. Not only is there potential conflict, but there is no
  reason to have both; essentially, they have something very similar
  for the Defender integrated and running both at once will hurt your
  performance and create the risk of problems that are contrary to each
  others.

• How to turn on windows Defender can not access

  When I try to turn on windows Defender I get message saying Defender has been turned off.

  Go to the Action Center and start from there. It only works if all other AV have been completely uninstalled.  You will need to run McAfee MCPRT if you had formerly McAfee on your computer.  I'll send the link, you can find him if necessary.
