  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.

• I run Windows Defender if I also runs Windows Essentials?

  My 8 year old computer's operating system is XP. I recently downloaded Windows essentials and get rid of my previous anti-virus/spyware software.  I run Windows Defender if I also runs Windows Essentials?

  Are you a person speaking of Windows Live Essentials, or Microsoft Security Essentials? The first has nothing to do with security. The latter, MSE, does this same work as Windows Defender and much more. It is not only unnecessary to run WD, you can't. MSE will it stop design to avoid conflicts and you can remove it from your machine completely if you wish.

• Why not run Windows Defender analyzes the calendar?

  I set schedule to run Windows Defender scan at 18:00 on money under standard user account, but I find that there is no digital activity Records.

  Anyone have any suggestions on what evil is?
  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  Hello Oem,

  Thank you for your response.

  Only security software can run on your computer at a time. Having more than one security software installed at a time and keeping the two race can cause conflicts between them, which can lead to many problems of Windows.

  If you want Windows Defender to run, you must keep one-third of security software disabled. As soon as you turn on the Defender third-party security software Windows by default is disabled automatically.

  Hope that answers your question. Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.

  Thank you

  Hi Byron,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I do not understand that you are unable to connect to Windows to receive the updates and run Windows Defender and I'll be happy to answer your query.

  This could be due to any dispute of third party software or system files missing or corrupt. We will try the following methods and check.

  Method 1: Put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows

  Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

  Method 2: Run the System File Checker tool

  System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

  Press the Windows key + X , and then click prompt (Admin)

  Type the following command and press enter

  sfc/scannow

  Note: Do not close the command prompt window until the audit is completed 100%. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is complete.

  From now on, try the methods above and let us know the result.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Is it possible to run windows defender and mcafee Security Center?

  Right now my windows Defender is disabled. If they we're running both would be conflicting firewalls?

  McAfee should turn off WD because it contains the same properties as WD and there would be a conflict. Give up the WD. I doubt you could get there anyway.

• If running Microsoft Security Essentials do I need run Windows Defender? Is the reason why I can't start the Defender-Essentials?

  I use Microsoft Security Essentials on Vista x 32.  Security Center tells me to start Windows Defender.  I click to start, but he tells me that I have to restart my computer or manually start Defender myself.  I go to services, and it does not advocate.  It basically tells me that my system has no need currently the program or there is another reason, it does not start.  Responses tells me that for the error code of course, I met error 0x800106ba later Code it tells me to try to start it manually if it doesn't work I have uninstall Defender and need to reinstall it.  Yet when I go to uninstall programs, Defender is not listed.  I tried to install it again because it is not listed, I thought I could.  When I went to install it, it-error telling me that I have already as it came pre-installed with Vista.

  Now, my question.  Do I really need Defender since I use Microsoft Security Essentials?  Is in fact an older version almost essential?  Why it tells me to start it if it is not needed? And if necessary, why it won't start
