• I need to keep Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials installed?

  My question is, what do I need to keep Windows Defender installed too, or I can uninstall it.

  I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed and it works fine. I am running Vista 64 bit with service PK. 2 and the Defender is installed under Vista. Before MSE I used Windows Live One Care until my subscription has expired and that they did not renew it. At that point, I finally installed MSE. Windows defender can be uninstalled? It seems to be an unnecessary element in my Security Center.

• can I run win.defender and Microsoft Security ess.at same time?

  I noticed that my comp. running both programs. Isn't this bad?

  Not in the case of Windows 7 because Windows Defender is not a real antivirus solution.

  It became a real avs in Windows 8...

• 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...

• My Security Center cannot see that my Windows Defender and Kaspersky PURE are active, how to fix this?

  Whenever I invoke the turn on now, he fails to get the updates (if the Defender is out of date) or it's up-to-date (because I've updated through the Defender on the interface). Regarding anti-virus, Security Center reports that Kaspersky PURE (obviously running not far from the clock on the toolbar) is / was not found. You can see in the screenshot below. Please note that Kaspersky PURE runs (lower right corner of the image) despite Security Center claiming otherwise.

  Is there something wrong with the part of my Vista operating system or what? How I solved this 'blindness' of the Security Center? Thank you.

  According to this link, you should not use Kaspersky Pure and Windows Defender on the same computer: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208281579

  Try disabling Windows Defender and restart the computer.

  If the "Security Center" does not always recognize Kaspersky, suggest contact Kaspersky Support or ask for help in the Forum Vista:

  If the previous steps do not solve the problem, you can reinstall .NET Framework manually, but the steps are intended for advanced users. If you are not comfortable performing these steps, ask a friend to help you. You will find the steps in the article toreinstall .NET Framework on the Microsoft Web site.

  Microsoft Office 2003

• Safety poster Windows automatic updates is turned off, but they are on

  original title; Problems with automatic updates. Help, please.

  Security alerts Windows keeps advising me that I have automatic updates turned off even if I turned them on in the system menu. Security Center said, however, that they are turned off and fails to address the problem. I tried to run windows repair, but it has encountered an unexpected error and could not continue. I'm afraid that I have some types of malware on my computer and there is a security risk.

  Hi, Thatreallyawesomeguylololol,

  Start in safe mode with network.  Turn off the system restore to ensure that no malware hides in the restore points.

  Download the tool from Microsoft.  Run a full scan.

  Once you have determined, there is no malware or malicious software has been quarantined or deleted from your system, run the System File Checker.

  Right-click on the command prompt window and select run as administrator

  Type the following command:

  SFC/scannow

  Press enter

  Note: There is a space between SFC and / scannow

  Press start > run

  Type %windir%\Logs\CBS

  Press Ok

  Search for can't fix... and note files SFC is unable to repair (if applicable)

  Right-click on command prompt and select run as administrator

• Defender is turned off, but does not give me access to it 2 turn on power

  original title: windows Defender

  These days have a lot of problems with my laptop.  Problems with starting.  I need to access windows defender to modify startup programs.  It is said that Defender is turned off, but does not give me access to it 2 turn it on.  In addition, different problems with different users and accounts by the office put in place, it looks like all my users are running different versions of windows, so I don't know where to start with all the problems.  Security sounded like a good place 2 start, so I guess I'll start by Defender problems.  (I have recently downloaded the free security essentials, safety signs so all green lights).

• 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:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security_essentials/

  For its last database of configuration of installation in offline mode:

  https://www.Microsoft.com/security/portal/definitions/ADL.aspx

  Did you run the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=en

  In this case you could not access the page everything Microsoft domain so you need to download it from another machine.

  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.
