Help with Windows Defender.

I disabled defenders of widows, and now it won't turn back on, I try to reactivate every time he says it's always off. I did what the help & support said do too, but after I tried to fix the problen it froze and wouldn't do anything, any help would be great. Thank you.

Hello

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/

     and read this information to microsoft:

Error message when you run Windows Defender: «Error 0x800106ba»

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931849

and if you need to change startup programs read this information on the other methods of doing it without using defender

using msconfig read this tutorial:

How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista

Here's how to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista to disable some unnecessary programs that load automatically at startup

http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html

and also try this FREE program Autoruns:

This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services more

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.

  • Problem with Windows defender.

    I installed Windows Defender 10 days ago. I'm going to have a problem that the windows defender automatically turns off service a few times. The last time it happened when I ran a quick scan and in the middle of the analysis, in the system tray, it seems with a mark I opened it and I showed that the Windows Defender Service is disabled. Then I turned it on. But the problem is why what is happening?

  • II you need VERY basic instructions on how to stop a program from running at startup, without the help of Windows Defender.

    I have a Vista operating system, I use Firefox as my browser and I have MS Security Essentials, I turn off my Windows Defender.  I want to disable some programs from starting automatically, but I can't figure out how do it when I can not use this feature in Windows Defender.  I'm not at all read and write or experienced in computers or software, so PLEASE keep this in mind.  I really need advice for flush on a kindergarten, with each specific step the easiest way, so I can understand & follow him.

    Thank you for your help in this matter, as well as for your understanding of my limitations.

    CA DJ

    Hello

    Without knowing the programs you want to disable, I'll start by saying that I can't be responsible for adverse effect to the normal operation of your system.

    That said...

    • Click Start
    • Type msconfig and press enter
    • Click on the Startup tab

    You will see checkboxes for programs that run at startup.

    Or you can use a more comprehensive tool called autoruns...

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    Maybe is a better way to explore the settings for the programs themselves, there is often a check box for "do not run at startup.

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

    I use windows vista sp2 32 bit op system.
    Windows Defender is set to automatic. but when I try to open windows defender, I get an error code 800106ba
    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.  :)

  • HP Deskjet 3051 a J611: help with Windows 10 drivers? Incompatibility problem?

    Hello, I had to get help with a problem with my printer HP Deskjet 3051 a J611.

    I was always able to properly scan using my printer until I installed the update for Windows 10.

    I use a Sony VAIO computer Fit portable (may 2013 model) originally shipped with Windows installed Pro 8.1.

    After I installed Windows 10 and I tried to use my scanner two weeks later (it prints very well), I can't seem to use the same program I was using before 10 Windows to use my scanner. I tried to use printing HP and doctor Scan to fix my problem, and he told me that my printer had an unknown driver error that it could not solve. I also tried to reset my laptop (and power cycling the printer) and to uninstall and reinstall the driver for my printer.

    One thing to note: I use my printer using the wireless and wired (via USB), Wi - Fi for the scanner and the printer.

    I usually use the printer function when I want things quickly, using an app on my Android phone, or otherwise, using my laptop (wireless, of course). But when it comes to use the scanner, I find it works much more quickly to use it via USB on my laptop via the Wi - Fi.

    Thank you for your help (for that).

  • Need help with Windows 7 drivers for Radeon HD 7670 m on a preinstalled Windows Pavilion g6-2300sy 8

    Hey, I recently bought a HP Pavilion g6-2300sy with Windows preinstalled 8 and decided to install Windows 7 on it instead, as I'm rates more familiar with it. Now I seem to be running into issues with the Radeon HD 7670 m laptop graphics card, since I can't find a driver that works for her. I tried several generic drivers AMD HD 7000 series, but none of them is not working - Windows continues to give the error code 43.

    How can I fix without going back to Windows 8? Any help would be really appreciated.

    Hello:

    For the g6-2300sy, use the W7 x 64 drivers and software for this model:

    For the graphics, you install only the AMD graphics driver. Do NOT install the Intel driver.  The AMD driver has the graphics for two video cards.
