  • 800106ba Windows Defender and Windows Update error, error

    Hi all

    Time please bear with me, long post coming.

    Running Windows 7, the Ed House, 32-bit.

    Problems with Windows Update, which I believe is due to problems with Windows Defender. Can not fix Windows Defender, Windows Update problem is also insoluble.

    I think THAT my problem started when I installed the latest version of Spybot Search and Destroy 2. I was not like this version was not like spybot search stand alone and destroy 1 and was actually a full antivirus/malware program. I then started getting errors using Windows Action Center, saying that the windows Defender has been disabled. No biggy, SS & D worked I was not at risk.

    FastForward a while and my updates are is more to come through via windows update. I begin to study and perform error is with windows defender. I find that no matter how I disable SS & D through services, etc., I can't have windows Defender to start, I get the error: 800106ba. I would like to manually disable the relevant services for ss & d and then manually start Windows Defender, this would result in just a few attempts to start the service, but it would eventually stop (after a few seconds).

    Add to that with my Windows updates do not come through and just not being able to check updates (I get error of ' services does not "). (Even when I had started manually bits and wuauserv services). After a bit of digging, it seems that you need to update/run your Defender before Windows updates will begin to launch new.

    I've manually updated my Windows Defender definitions today and always without result. Same old error codes and the same old mistakes. I have removed SS & D of my machine and had to install a new antivirus for enterprise network, and this has not solved all the problems (even if I manually disable this service too).

    What are my options? I don't seem to have much luck with troubleshooting I found online (running the dll fresh cmds etc.)

    Please help me, it's driving me crazy!

    Hi Shalini,

    Thanks for your response!

    I uninstalled SS & D and still have the issue. After a little more digging I realize that my question was a new hard drive, I installed.

    There is no error code for windows update, it just says "Windows update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running." You may have to restart your computer. The services are running, and it does not help.

    I cloned my old HDD with a SSD drive. It has Advanced Format, which seems to have been a problem for other people. I tried to install the fix here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018 but get an error code during the installation: 0xc8000247

  • The reactivation of Windows Defender in Windows 8

    Hi all

    This is my first time here, so please bear with me.

    I bot a desktop HP Pavilion yesterday and everything was going well until I tried to turn on WINDOWS DEFENDER. The message is "Windows Defender disabled by seller". I don't want to use any other anti-virus, anti-blah... blah package since I was an all-things-Microsoft kind of guy. Anyway, how can I go abt turning Windows Defender powered? I really, really appreciate anyone who can help me on this one.

    Yes, you need to uninstall "Norton Internet Security", following the steps you provided. I said "disable and uninstall", this is because many AV programs won't let you unistall them while they are active.

    To reactivate Windows Defender, go to the new Windows 8 desktop and type 'Action', click on 'Settings', and click on "Action Center"... check the status of Windows Defender and click the button "turn on Now". Update definitions for Windows Defender... and then do a full scan.

  • Cannot install the update to windows defender on Windows vista KB915597.

    My update history shows clearly that these latest download windows defender as kb915597 impossible to install.  In the past when I had downloads fail to install via automatic updates, I went directly to the microsoft.com website and downloaded the file specifically.  The problem was sometimes due to a need to check a box for authorization.  In this case when I went to the microsoft down load Web site it does not recognize the existence of the file KB915597 so I'm at a lost what to do even if automatic updates has not attempted to repeat the download.

    Inadvertently, I managed to solve this problem.  I've just upgraded to office 2010, and to do so when the program picked up security updates for office 2010 windows Defender update KB915597 appeared and this time has been downloaded successfully.  So it seems that if using an earlier version of office may be the problem.
