• Windows 7 / cannot turn on Windows Defender

  Hello

  I'm running Windows 7 Pro. I have no antivirus running software and or installed. I have no signs apparent or perceptible to a virus infection or malware on my PC. Everything seems to work very well. Today, I checked on Windows Defender to see how it worked and possible search implemented to update and the application has been disabled. I was not able to re - turn Windows Defender on or via the Panel control or even after attempts to modify the Windows registry.

  In the registry, I sailed to "Windows Defender" and I chose 'DisableAntiSpyware' then 'change '. I've changed the 'value data' from '1' to '0' and no change just the following error as you can see. I tried to remove the "1" value in the "value data" and still no change, just the error message. Here is the error message I received: "error editing value cannot change DisableAntiSpyware: error writing to the new content value.

  I don't know if it is advisable to do so, but I even tried in vain to remove 'DisableAntiSpyware' from the registry and I got a different error message: "error deleting values unable to delete all specified values."

  I consider myself a moderate computer user. I can install memory sticks and even a sale of hard drive option, I'm not all that only warned. Can someone please? I only want to activate Windows Defender continue to use it again.

  Thank you

  Malware does not always of obvious signs.

  On Windows 7, Windows Defender is not complete antimalware application.  You can find details on what he do in the section appropriate forum - Virus and Malware Note that Windows Defender on Windows 7 is not the same application as Windows Defender on Windows 10.

  I urge you to cancel all changes made in the registry.  You have no way of knowing what effect these changes could have in the future.

  You really need to have an anti-malware application installed.  You can install MS Security Essentials for use until you have the time to look for a decent [MSSE doing pretty bad in efficiency tests].

  After installing a utility decent antimalware software.

  • Scan your entire computer
  • scan all computers which were networked with her and
  • Scan all USB keys, external hard drives & other devices containing storage such as MP3 players that have been used in the computer of the object or one of the computers which were networked with him.

  - - - - - - - - - - -

  Opinions on the antimalware utilities vary.  This is a support forum for users where users ask questions and answer questions users - there are both good & bad opinions on most of the anti-malware utilities.  Some of these views were clearly trained many years ago but have persisted as prejudice blind while it was impossible for me to draw a strong conclusion of the opinions of the users.

  I read several reviews online [PCMag & others] and noticed that many of them according to their critics on the very source of the results of tests of effectiveness .  So I investigated this source directly instead.  I studied the results for Windows 7 and Windows 10 Android so that I could use the same solution on them all.  I limited my detailed studies of these utilities that had reached the maximum score for effectiveness [detection & prevents malware] and then ranked compared to other factors presented as their load on the computer.  The shortlist was Norton, ESET, Bitdefender, Kaspersky and trend.

  Initially, I bought Norton.  It does not load the system in the way that it used to do years ago.  However, as several users reported in this forum & in the Norton forum, was undetected errors of installation on Windows 10 which resulted to the built-in Windows Defender is not properly disabled with implications that follow on Windows update.  When it became clear that their helpdesk didn't have a clue about the problem, I put in a cell.

  I finally chose Bitdefender.

  BitDefender online technical support is also useless that almost everything the world online helpdesk, but I decided that the efficiency was the most important factor.  BitDefender support get there late account, but only if you repeatedly tell them that their previous response has not correctly solve the problem.  The only decent helpdesk, I found was Malwarebytes, which were excellent, but their software has not released very well in tests of effectiveness.

• Something in my system turns off Windows Defender.

  Something in my system turns off Windows Defender once from time to time, and I have to keep back on.

  I am running Windows XP and security programs I use are Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool,
  Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware from Lavasoft.
  I normally have all running at the same time, and with Spybot SD have also resident 'SD Helper' and 'Tea Timer"active.

  Any ideas what could cause this problem?

  Hello

  As you use Microsoft Security Essentials, the reason for this is that MSE has its own version of the Defender as part of its program.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  Read this information about it:

  "Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/protect/Forum/protect_start/Windows-Defender-and-Microsoft-Security-Essentials/5309cb8d-02e1-40E8-974f-0dcedb9ab9fd

  Q: I have to manually disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials?
  If Microsoft Security Essentials does not automatically uninstall Windows Defender on XP, you must manually uninstall Windows Defender through Control Panel of configuration/Add / Remove programs.
