    Hello

    What is display / causing the error message? Some security/antivirus/antispyware products can cause this
    error. On those which do you use, including everything that you have ever even those uninstalled (remainders
    may cause problems). AVG and others have been known to disable Windows Defender.

    Start - type in the search box - Services - find top - Right Click - Run as Admin

    Windows Defender - value STARTED and AUTOMATIC

    or set MANUAL and STOPPED if necessary

  • I received 3 phone calls informing me that Windows Defender is hurting my computer and they will refund my money.

    * Original title: Windows Defender

    I received 3 phone calls informing me that Windows Defender is hurting my computer and they will refund my money. He also wants me to turn on my computer... I put him up until I can get the information... is it a hoax?  Thanks for any help...

    Hello

    Windows Defender is the antivirus integrated in Windows 8/8.1/10 and do NOT harm your computer.

    It protects your computer.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Here's the advice I give on this type of phone calls:

    It's a scam.

    We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer, which is another ploy they use to scare you

    Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

    You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

    If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

    If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

    And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

    There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

    Read this Information from Microsoft:

    "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

    Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

    Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

    • Helpdesk Windows

    • Windows repair center

    • Microsoft technical support

    • Microsoft technical support

    Hi 1pinktink,

    Welcome to Microsoft answers forums!

    a. What is the exact error message that you receive?

    b. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

    c. what anti-virus program you installed on the computer?

    This problem may occur if there is a conflict between windows defender and the security software installed on the computer.

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1: Disable security software, follow the steps mentioned below

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Activate security software back once the test is completed.

    Step 2: The System File Checker (SFC) utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

    You can still run a SFC scan on the windows vista computer. To run a scan suite SFC as follows:

    a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

    b. at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

    Step 3: Install the latest updates for windows defender

    To check updates in Windows Defender, follow these steps:

    1. start Windows Defender if it is not already open. To do this, click Start, click programs, and then click Windows Defender.

    2 search for new definitions. To do this, click search for updates now
