How can I find Windows Defender?
Greetings,
How to navigate in Windows Defender in Control Panel? I know I can find it using the search box, bug, I was wondering what category it is in.
Just curious.
Thank you
Shane.
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit. Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385
Thus, Windows Defender is not listed in the category view in Control Panel?

As far as I KNOW, he is not. You can only see if you change the Small/Large Icons view.

I can't find Windows Defender under my services for my computer laptop windows 7.
(Moved to repair and recovery)
Hello
Windows Defender on Windows 7 is only antispyware. It has disabled (to avoid potential conflicts) during the installation of various programs of anti-malware to include (but not necessarily limited to) AVG, McAfee, MSE and Norton.
So, probably your antivirus product has disabled Windows Defender. If so, you should not try to turn on WD.
See you soon,.

How can I use Windows Defender to scan an individual file in Windows 7?
How can I use Windows Defender to scan an individual file in Windows 7?
To the best of my knowledge, it is not possible.
A cheap substitute, albeit rather inconvenient, is to use a personalized analysis on the folder containing the file of interest. Go to Windows Defender-> custom scan and then select the folder in the pop up dialog box.

How can I activate windows Defender, and where can I find?
I tried finding the Windows Defender application, but can not. Any ideas how I can find and put in operation? I stopped using another product of virus protection, and now I need to get this sort that I do not know if windows 8 is as safe as it should be. It is said that MS W8 malware is quite effective, but is it?
Is there step by step procedures to help with this?

Hello
You will need to uninstall Norton... You'd better go to their website for their removal tool. Simply uninstalling was reported to leave artifacts that still block Windows Defender.
In fact, Norton can offer better protection, but of how much better, you could try a search for comments and/or a comparison... Norton will probably slow down your machine more than the Defender, but I have not tried lately to say how much.
Most likely the Office 365 is a trial provided by the manufacturer of the computer for which you will have to pay for eventually... just a guess but.

How can I disable windows Defender
How to DISABLE settings for windows deffender, I turned it on, it might conflict with my McAfee Mc
Poster asked disable Windows Defender, so it could run McAfee. I interpreted his position to be that he had turned on, Windows Defender.
I answered his question and told him how to turn it off. Not knowing its OS also I said to uninstall if you use XP.
This message/question of the OP seemed specific to the use of McAfee and Windows Defender as the OP said.
I'm sorry that you disagree with my answer.
Kind regards...

How can I reinstall Windows Defender on my laptop HP Vista 64-bit?
Bots and a kind of virus/hacker got in and everything moving & ripped off many drivers needed for important security programs such as defender and Trend Micro Titanium, Ran Malwarebytes and Spy - bot Search & Destroy, but nothing came. Responsible for Microsoft Security Essentials and who is working for a little time, and then when the computer restarts after updates through Windows Update, Security Essentials is disabled, just as the Defender is always, it seems! When I try to start it (Yes, as an administrator!) until you get the error code: 0x800106ba and display hangs. I try to save almost 4 000 photos stored on my laptop and transfer them to a new external hard drive, a few buddies very attentive gal of my friends bought for me (I'm home with AIDS and the very limited income, so it really sucks if I can't get my main source of social interaction, news) creative and well stuff even more upward and running the way it should have been when I bought 2 years ago!).
I digress from the subject, sorry. In any case, I downloaded the Defender, called Windows Installer: Defenderx64.msi Windows and when I run I get another error message that says that the Defender is already loaded and to reload I must uninstall Defender. and when I try to it says I can't because he shook in Vista, somehow and not repairable. Please advise! JSBHIO
