Do the windows updates. Regularly to windows Defender updates. Normal?
Hello.
I have Vista Home Premium 32-bit on a multiboot with Windows XP. When I check the updates on the Vista partition, it tells me almost everytime I need a defender from windows update. It is every time I connect. The update then takes some time to be completed. The update is also marked as important.
Is this normal?
In Vista Windows defender service is set to manual. I turned it to automatic and started, but nothing has changed. So I put in manual.
No problem in XP, this issue is on Vista.
The number of definition may occasionally change. But I get the same update KB915597. Is this a bug?
Thank you.
The update has been installed, however, a file not updated to restart the computer.

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

Help
Hi baulchy,
1 when was the last time it was working fine?
2. did you of recent changes on the computer?
3. you have any security software installed on the computer?
Method 1
Check and make sure that the Windows defender service is running on the computer.
(a) click Start type services.msc in the Search box, and then click OK.
(b) in the Services (Local) list, right-click Windows Defender, and then click Properties.
(c) if the drop-down list Startup type is set to the value off, select Automatic from the drop-down list Startup type and then click OK.
(d) click the file menu and then click exit.
Method 2
If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you scan and remove infections of malware or viruses on the use of the scanner online in the link below and check if it helps.
The scan below only works on the 32-bit version of Windows

is not the window Defender sufficient virus protection?
Windows 7 repeat myself that I should get antivirus protection... is not the window Defender sufficient virus protection?
No, Defender (on W7) by itself is not enough. Get an AV package as well. There are a lot of those who are free to choose to include MSE.
Note that if you install MSE, it replaces the defender and defender will be disabled.
PS - Defender on W8 is not the same as the Defender on W7

What is the diffenrece between the Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials? One is more recommended than the other or guarantee better security than the other? .. .or do they use the same definition files and also provide a safe protection?
Please feel free to share your own opinions and thoughts on the comparison of the two programmes. It would be much appreciated.
If you run either of these two programs... That who and why?
Thank you friends.

Hey Leejones
Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.
For you explain windows defender is built this antivirus program in windows 8. When you install a third-party antivirus program, automatically the windows Defender will be disabled and you will not be able to turn it on, until and unless you uninstall the third-party antivirus software.
Please refer to the below section of Wiki mentioned by Stephen Boots
