• After XP SP1 installation, activation of windows and upgrade to SP3, Microsoft Security Essentials said that I need to get Windows Genuine?

  My brother-in-law gave me his laptop Dell Latitude D610 to work on. It was loaded with virus and almost completely non-functional. I installed an old windows XP Home Edition SP1 upgrade disk (I had to insert my plu too Windows 98 disc) on it because I had no original disks supplied with the computer. I am therefore perfectly legal with that.  I installed it and I activated it until I went through updates. When I finished updates of service pack to download SP2 to the execution of the method to update to SP3. I tried to install Microsoft Security Essentials however it would not load and said I had to VALIDATE windows. I already got it activated prior to all other updates. How can I fix it? When I try to validate windows all I see is a white screen, so I can't go any further!  So basically I have 2 problems I need to validate (the computer says that Windows is already activated when I click on the button "Activate Windows"). And I get the white screen when I try to validate... Please help I know it's legal software, just old.

• Windows Defender does not work. When I try to turn it on, I get the message "not responding".

  Original title: Windows Defender

  I have Windows Vista and my Windows Defender will activate/doesn't not work.  When I try to turn it on, it responds by saying: 'it is not responding' and stops automatically.  I tried to re - install & who did not work.  Any ideas.

  Hi lskdjfoie,
   
  What have you tried to reinstall? Windows Defender or other programs?
   
  I suggest the following steps and check.
   
  Step 1:
   
  Usually if you have a third-party security software installed, Windows Defender would not work. I would temporarily disable all security software and check if the problem persists.
   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
   
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Step 2:
   
  If this does not help, I would say you scan SFC on your computer and check if Windows Defender works fine.
   
  Step 3:
   
  If none of the steps helps create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

• I just installed Windows Defender, but he does not see my Windows XP Security Center. I had to install Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows to see any antivirus. Why?

  I removed Bitdefender because it slowed my computer down a lot. I then installed Windows Defender and updated and scanned the computer (no problem) and said it was "protect my computer". But the Windows Security Center does not see any antivirus, until I installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Why? And are two antivirus programs now runmning together?

  Microsoft Security Essentials need to uninstall Windows Defender when it is installed. If youshould not uninstall via Add/Remove programs. See the following topics:

• Windows Defender does not work: encounteredan error: 0x800705b4

  I can't activated the windows Defender. I get this message:

  Windows Defender does not work: encounteredan error: 0x800705b4. This operation returned because the time limit has expired.

  What do you use for your antivirus protection? Windows Defender is not necessary if you use AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials, Norton or McAfee. These AV programs have their own antispyware component builtin and allows you to disable Windows Defender by design.

• My Windows Defender will not remain, it turns off

  My Windows Defender will not stay on, even though I have a scan scheduled @ 02:00 every day. I do not understand why the Defender stops, and I get a warning telling me it's off. It analyzes every day @ 02:00, and I manually do a quick scan when I see the warning icon. Help!
  Thank you for your help.

  Copy davidhk129 answer to the question of Windows Defender won't start do not:

  Here's a direct copy...

  If you have
  one of the following AV, antivirus, programs installed, it will stop your Windows Defender. Purpose of these AVs have their own advocates. 2 defenders on the same machine will create conflicts.
  Bottom line: it's ok.
  It's normal.
  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, type Services > 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.
