• Can not turn on Windows Defender

  I am not able to turn on Windows Defender. Whenever I click on it on my Section of security/control panel, a message appears for a split second saying it's off, then disappears. I just downloaded Defender earlier today, but nothing helped. Looks like he has a malware in my system that prevents me to light the Defender.

  Hello

  Defender is not sufficient protection

  you need to install antivirus protection

  you would have had a free trial for a new AV subscription

  This program must be removed before installing another AV

  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/

  either of these programs free antivirus try after removing any trial that is always installed

  use the free version of either Avast

  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  or Microsoft Security Essentials

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=e1605e70-9649-4A87-8532-33d813687a7f

  scan your system for malware;

  Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

  You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

  If it does not remove the problem and or work correctly in normal mode do work above in safe mode with networking

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  How can I turn off "Windows defender"?

  Hello Steve,.

  Welcome! Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

  Usually, if you install the 3rd AV software part (for example, Kaspersky, Norton, McAfee, Tredn Micro...) it allows to disable Windows Defender. However you can do it manually.

  Several options are described here

• Why can't I turn on windows Defender

  I can't activate my windows Defender. Window pops up saying: it's the start and click 'here' to turn it on, but it seems like a mistake.

  I can't activate my windows Defender. Window pops up saying: it's the start and click 'here' to turn it on, but it seems like a mistake.

  If you have the following AV, antivirus, programs installed, close your Windows Defender. Purpose of these AVs have their own advocates. 2 defenders on the same machine will create conflicts.
  In other words, you don't need Windows defender if you have AVS below installed.

  List of AVs which will stop Windows Defender:
  Norton
  McAfee
  AVG
  Microsoft Security Essentials

   

  If you don't have AV programs above, here's how to restart Windows Defender:

  Start button > in the search box, typeServices > press the Enter key > scroll to find Windows Defender, click on it >...
  topic status , it must be said... Has begun
  under Startup Type, it must be said... Automatic
  If it does not say that, right click on Windows Defender > click Properties >
  in Startup Type, click on the pointer to the right and select automatic
  to the service status, click Start
  Click OK when finished.

• How to turn on windows Defender can not access

  When I try to turn on windows Defender I get message saying Defender has been turned off.

  Go to the Action Center and start from there. It only works if all other AV have been completely uninstalled.  You will need to run McAfee MCPRT if you had formerly McAfee on your computer.  I'll send the link, you can find him if necessary.

• Try to turn on Windows Defender

  I have problems with activation of windows Defender. I tried via the control panel and update of systems and security but was unable to ativate manually.

  If there is any other antivirus installed on your system, Windows Defender can be disabled. If this is not the case, try the procedure described in the links below to solve the problem:

  http://www.thewindowsclub.com/unable-to-turn-on-Windows-Defender

  http://www.thewindowsclub.com/Windows-Defender-is-turned-off

• I can't update the Windows Defender definitions and get this message: the program can't check for definition updates. Error: Code 0xc8000408.

  Impossible to find info on what this means or what to do so I can again update in Windows Defender. This error message has begun to appear recently, or at least I think. I thought it was set to automatic update, but when I tried to do it manually because it says it's expired. Tried several times but get the same message every time.

  You are welcome. Your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or networks without a fully functional antivirus, completely update installed application. But first, let's take care of any Norton "leftovers"...

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  Now, you will need to download/install an antivirus application. While I do not recommend professionally AVG, you might find that AVG Free 9.0 more compatible if you choose a CUSTOM this time installation above and don't install NOT of Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
     http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

  Otherwise, I can recommend Microsoft Security Essentials*, Avira AntiVirand Avast (all free) and NOD32 and Kaspersky (not the suites 'internet security'). After you have installed your AV application selected, manually & repeatedly updated until you get one invites 'no more updates'.

  [Avoid Norton & McAfee IMHO applications.]

  =============================
  * Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) includes components of antivirus and antispyware protection. The latter will replace (and must turn off automatically) Windows Defender in Vista.

• 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.

  See you soon.
