  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.

• Windows Defender will not work

  I installed the microsoft Security Center and now Defender will not work.

  If that's okay. How can I now change my Start menu?

  Use the msconfig method...

  Start > in the search box, type msconfig > press the Enter key > uac prompt > Startup tab > here's startup programs >
  To activate... check the box opposite.
  To disable, uncheck the box in front. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

• Windows Defender will not activate in Windows Vista

  I use windows vista and after I bought Norton 360 and put it on my HP laptop... whenever I wish my PC it seems there is a problem with windows security. When I open my windows Defender would emerge but let me enable it by running the update for it.  Now it lights up at all... I get a message that windows security is unable to activate windows defender on please try again later... more later she just said and did the same thing and will not let me install another version of windows defender... OH one thing... after having installed Norton on this laptop as well as my other more old or my CD/DVD burner drivers works not at all... will not read a disc at all... what happens?

  You should never have 2 versions on any antivirus installed on your computer, or 2 different AVs installed.

  It will cause problems.

  I suggest that solve you your Norton anti-virus to address any problem of CD.

  http://www.Symantec.com/support/index.jsp

  Contact the Norton Support.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

  Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and should automatically disable the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

  If it's not:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

  Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

  Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.

  See you soon.

• I can't download Windows updates or updates of Windows Defender, and my BITS will not start.

  Hi, I have a HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC, and I can't get my updates of windows to download anything. My BITS will not start.

  -Processor: Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU
  At 2.10 GHz, 2.10 GHz T6500
  -Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB
  -System type: 64-bit operating system
  -Windows Vista Home Premium Edition

  I have Webroot AntiVirus with Spy Sweeper and I recently downloaded the Malewarebytes Malware Anti.

  Whenever I try to download an update for anything, be it Itunes, Windows Defender, Windows updates, updates to HP or Microsoft Updates, they do not always arrive.

  When I go into the service menu & try to start BITS it comes up with this message:

  Windows cannot start the Service on the Local computer's Background Intelligent Transfer
  Error 126: The specified module is not found.

  When the updates of Windows fails to download updates, it comes up with the error Code: 80246008.

  I tried to download on microsoft.com BITS Repair tool, but it is said that the tool is not necessary.

  I really need someone to help me and to understand this point for me, it's happened now for about 3 months. When I bought the laptop I had Webroot AntiVirus with Spy Sweeper installed, and I just installed Malwarebytes' Anti Malware, a week ago.

  Anyway, do the following:

  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

  1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.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.

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

  5 test.

• CRNT FF: 1 of 5 emails lost all my messages on viewing but shows the amount of mails are there. Search can find them all, just will not appear in the Inbox

  1 of 5 email ACCOUNTS receive mail OK, but as soon as you leave this account and that you come back, nothing appears in the Inbox. The status bar shows however, that there are 32 emails it even if the Inbox is devoid of any text.

    Using Search, I can find ALL 32 emails by searching for a word in the subject field or the body fields. The mails ARE there!  They just do not display in the Inbox.
  

  Then... How the hell can I get the Inbox to display its content again?

  It worked until the day before yesterday when I read an e-mail from a reliable source and it automatically disappeared, along with all others in the Inbox. All other accounts are working very well.

     I tried creating a new email account but it wouldn't let me, giving me an error that the "incoming already exists".  No number or anything; it come when I click DONE in the creation process.  The new account will not write to the disk.
  

  I ran NOrton, AVG, MalWare Bytes, Windows Defender, Spybot AV and the other that I forgot the name of that time. ALL showed nothing found after each live scan success. I'm reasonable sure, I have no malicious software.

  Emails from this account are quite important, and I don't want to lose them if possible; they are for a Committee planning the 50th high-school reunion.

  Windows 7 HP, Dell XPS L702, 6 Gig of RAM, Intel i7 processor and lots of disk space. I've also compacted without change. The messages are all still there, but nothing shows in my Inbox; It is empty. I only see them using Find Messages from words I know are in them.

    Happy to provide any other info needed to evaluate this.  Oh, the account Sends OK too; it's a POP3 account setup.
  

  Any help would be most appreciated!

• HP Simplepass will not work after reinstalling Norton 360 on windows 8

  Hello:

  I am running Windows 8 on a new computer dv6 HP Envy.  I use Norton 360 anti-virus.  Norton apparently does not work with Windows 8 correctly b/c every time I have download updates via Norton I can't run all the tests.  So I uninstall Norton 360 and reinstall, which allows then to Norton 360 works correctly.  HOWEVER, whenever I do that (which is at least once a week and is VERY VERY VERY VERY BORING!), HP Simplepass DOES NOT at all.  It says in the device, biometric devices Manager:

  Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19).

  HELP HELP HELP HELP!  You pay tons of money for a new computer and it has constant problems.  Can not a fix it or give me some help to fix it?  This irritates me a LOT and will probably cause I DO NOT to BUY another product HP or Norton MORE EVER!

  Owner of unhappy HP,

  Josh

  Well, you could just not use Norton.  I confess that I'm not a fan of Norton, so the decision would be easier for me that it could be for someone else.

  There are a lot of other options out there that will work for you.

  =====================================================================================

  The Windows Defender software has been reorganized for Windows 8.  Not everyone says we should run with this one. It is worth visiting and worth implementing in your first line of defense.

  Windows Defender has the advantage that it "plays well with others", in other words, you can run this program in collaboration with the other security.

  Windows Defender will not 'take down of your computer' or make unusable just because you turn it on.

  HP computers - solve and protection against viruses on your computer (Windows 8)

  More information about Windows Defender:

  Activate Windows Defender in Windows 8

  OK, what to do?

  If you want, take a look at Avast Anti-virus.  There are paid and free versions.  The software has a good reputation and is easy to install and use.   The paid version (Avast security) has a number of features, including network monitoring, control rules and a 'sandbox' in which you can run restricted access programs (for banking, etc.).

  Other options can be found at:

  Overview of the security of Windows 8

  Comment:

  My personal experience with Kasperky includes some of the same adventures that I had with Norton - I have succeeded with an older version of the software, so closely bind things that I managed to block the system.  It's real easy to Bumble and more difficult to manage that I liked.  Great software - I doubt that anyone else could have hacked the system easily - I could not get anything to run, I doubt that anyone could have dug made far away in the computer either.  The smile.

  =====================================================================================

  SimplePass, in particular, has an aversion to Norton, even though I've heard of him along the Norton software.

  • You can try a few things to get SimplePass works again:

  Reset the laptop:

  Laptops - forced Reset to solve Hardware and Software questions waterproof Non-removable battery

  Laptops - use Hard Reset to solve Hardware and Software issues - removable battery

  Try reinstalling your current validity sensor driver:

  • Control Panel > display icon > device management > biometric devices > Validity Sensor >
  • Right click on the driver Validity Sensor and "Uninstall" (do not remove IT)
  • Restart / reboot the computer and log in
  • The driver will reinstall it connect you to

  Good luck!
