Hello
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:

And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

I can't activate my Windows Defender. I have Windows Vista.
When I go to my Windows Defender I get this popup window that says: Windows Defender is disabled by group policy.
Windows Defender does not provide protection against harmful or unwanted software and it won't send you alerts because it is turned off. To help protect your computer against harmful or unwanted software, contact your system administrator to enable Windows Defender via Group Policy.
I don't understand what they want to me to activate my Windows Defender, I don't know what is my system administrator?
Contact technical support of McAfee or post in the appropriate Forum of community of McAfee for assistance: http://community.mcafee.com/community/home
The current versions of the applications/suites McAfee IIRC disable Windows Defender by default.

How can I activate the Windows Update Service?
I had to restore my kids PC. Windows Update gives me a message that it is not running and I need to restart the PC. I've done several times, and Windows update still does not work. I passed through TaskManager, Services and found Windows Update and tried rebooting from here. It still does not. How can I get the update of Windows running service?
Hello
(a) the first thing to do is to stop the Windows Update service on your Windows 7 computer. You can do this by going to start and typing in services.msc in the search box.
(b) then press enter and the Windows Services dialog box appears. Now scroll down until you see the Windows Update service, right-click on it and choose stop.
(c) now that the Windows Update service has been disabled, you must go to the following folder and delete all files and folders inside:
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\
(d) once you have deleted everything, go back to the Services dialog box, right-click on the Windows Update service and click Start.
Hope that information was useful
