error 0x800106ba prevents me from open Windows Defender - what to do next

installed Windows Defender, but as I try to open it says error 0x800106ba - do not know what to do now.

You do not install Windows Defender in Vista.

Windows Defender is provided as part of the Vista operating system.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and it automatically disables the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

If it's not:

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

Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.

See you soon.

    You are running Microsoft Security Essentials? If so, it turns out
    Defender off the coast and it's good, not bad. It turns off the Defender because
    It contains the same features.

    There are a few other anti-virus programs that do the same
    thing. If you are not running Microsoft Security Essentials, which
    virus protection do you use?

    You have the MSE, Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton or McAfee installed?
    If so, these programs are supposed to close Windows Defender.
    This is because they have their own advocates. 2 defenders running on the same computer is redundanr as well as to create conflicts.
    In short, if you have one of the above, you don't need Windows Defender.

    Is there another reason you want to open Windows Defender?

    P.S. Wrong forum for your question. He should go to the security forum.

    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; basically to have something very similar to the built-in Defender, and both running at a time will be your performance level and create the risk of problems that are contrary to the other.

  • Publish with windows defender - error code 800106ba when I try to open Windows Defender

    Please notify hw to enable this feature for protection.

    If you use another program (other than MSE) AV, Windows Defender may also be disabled. Examples of these other programs include but are not necessarily limited to: AVG, Kaspersky, Norton, McAfee, and Trend Micro.

    Hi the ball

    Kaspersky does not automatically turn off Windows Defender. However, it is recommended that, as usual, Windows Defender real-time protection is not enabled when Kaspersky is installed. Its a similar situation with Windows and Kaspersky firewall products that have built in firewall.

    I used Kaspersky products for several years and it has always been the case in my experience. I just tested with Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 race and I was luckily allowed to activate the protection in real time of the defenders of Windows and the Windows Firewall.

    I hope this helps.  :)

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The error code is normally for the .net Framework updates.

    Read this on the problems of Defender:

    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:
