• Can I have Windows Defender and Avast on the same computer?

  If I have Windows Defender, I need avast on my computer too?

  Hello

  Yes, Windows Defender is an antispyware program if you need an antivirus as well.

  --------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I have McAfee Virus Scan installed on my Windows 7 system.  Should I also turn on Windows Defender?

  Yes. In addition to an anti-virus program, you must also at least one
  anti-spyware (two or three is even better) program. Windows Defender is
  an anti-spyware program.

  But keep in mind:

  I think McAfee is one of the two worst anti-virus programs on the
  market (Norton is this one). I recommend that you run eSET NOD32
  If you are willing to pay for anti-virus software, or one of the
  the following three if you want for free anti-virus software:

  Avira
  Avast
  Microsoft Security Essentials

  For anti-spyware, I recommend running all three of the following:

  MalwareBytes AntiMalware
  SuperAntiSpyware
  Windows Defender.

• Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

  When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

  Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

  Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

  When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

  also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

• Virus blocks all files & folders, windows defender and restore point

  I have a virus that blocks access to my files SYSTEM, Windows Defender and perhaps even of Windows Support. For some reason when I give permission from Windows to check my system for my product key and ID it cannot access. Malware bytes and AVG nothing found. Malware, I ran in safe mode. AVG was not available in the save mode. Defender does not open. IE and Windows explore are constantly stop and error too.

  My system is Vista Home Premium, service pack 1, the last I did change is the change in language. This week, I removed a very boring task bar called Babylon, who appears out of nowhere, from my computer which also seemed like malware to me. All traces of it were gone. What to do next. I tried everything I can think of.

  Thank you.

  I suggest you to install Microsoft Security essential place of AVG:

  If nothing works then:

  It seems that malware has badly edited the system files. Fresh formatting will be the best procedure, but you can follow the instructions if you want to format it now & solve the problem by repairing OS platform below.

  1. open the command prompt (make a right click on it & "Run as Administrator").

  2. type sfc/scannow & then press ENTER.

  (the command will restore all the files system protected Windows in its original version)

  3 then he will ask the Windows startup disk, so insert & allow the time to complete the scan.

  4. once the command/scanning is finished check that your problem exists or not.

  Note: if succeeded, you may need to activate your copy of windows with its original CD key. Otherwise next reboot it will delay/deny to connect to your account until that activate you in original key. If you have no real CD key as you try the command.

  You will be unable to run this command if you have no windows startup disk. (You will need Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 not any bootable disc restore disk / retail)

  In the corruption of file extreme command may have failed. Then, to fix the OS by booting the disc.

• Virus + Windows defender and windows firewall

  OK, I click on windows defender and it opens, click on this thing that says start now well when I do it says the specified service does not exist as an installed service. Error 0 x 80070424. I had a very bad virus, it was something like secerity Platinum 2012 that I got rid of him. Sowhen I was done and remove the virus, it wouldn't let me not use windows defender snd firewall... IM using windows 7. Please help someone.

  Platinum is an extremely damaging piece of malware.  It removes some registry keys that affect the firewall and sometimes other services.   See the information here, which includes a downloadable utility to try to repair the registry.  This succeeds sometimes, but not always.  Make sure you also do a full audit of malware.  At a minimum, use TDDKiller, malwarebytes, and you anti-virus program.

• use Windows Defender and Trend Titanium Maximum Security

  Is this a conflict if I use Titanium Maximum Security and Windows Defender?

  You should never have more than one security product installed on the PC, providing active protection / scan. This can cause performance problems, system instability and conflicts between programs and can affect all installed antivirus product efficiency.

  Windows Defender allows analyses in real time and cannot be used with AVG, McAfee, MSE or Norton.

  Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials

  I use no trend but you could search the Forums to Support trend about your question: http://community.trendmicro.com/t5/Home-and-Home-Office-Forum/bd-p/homeoffice

  If it was my computer I would disable Windows Defender (if you use Vista or Win 7) and if you use XP, I would uninstall Windows Defender to be sure, there was no conflict.

  I hope this helps...

• Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open

  I installed Microsoft Security Essentials today and I'm trying to edit startup programs. Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open.  However, most of the security will not allow Windows Defender be turned on and I want to change the startup parameters.  How can I accomplish this?

  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 want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

  And now edit startup in Vista without using Defender programs, use one of the following methods:

  "How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

  Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

• Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool not doing anything to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

  original title: WHY Windows Update keep up to date USELESS of Windows Defender and installation USELESS malware remover?

  I'm a computer technician who makes a TON of virus remove money from Windows computers.  Two-thirds of my tasks of repair involving the elimination of viruses from Windows and trying to fix the Internet Explorer, the worst browser known to humanity.

  I have a question about Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool.  These are two programs entirely worthless, evidenced by the fact that computers with them installed still get infected of all viruses, Trojan and rootkit out there.  Clearly, if these two programs of malware Microsoft has done anything to protect your computer, it would have been without having to release still a THIRD tool antivirus, "security essentials" for Microsoft.   I'm not complaining — the way Microsoft Windows absorbs malware like a sponge, put a lot of money in my bank account. Please keep doing what you're doing... however...

  My question is, given that Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool doing nothing to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

  Windows defender is not an antivirus program, it is designed to protect against spyware.

  If you don't like them, so do not use them.

  Every night (a1) and (a2) Aurora built updated every day, so if you use such a developer version you will see an update every day (sometimes more than once a day in the case of a respin). These alpha versions are more intended to be experienced testers, because you may experience stability and regression of the questions at any time. The beta version (currently Firefox 25) can be useful for testing Web sites to see if they're going to get broken in the next Firefox release and file a bug report, if necessary.

  Note that you must always install such version of development alongside a stable version and use a separate profile for each version folder.
