The reactivation of Windows Defender in Windows 8

Hi all

This is my first time here, so please bear with me.

I bot a desktop HP Pavilion yesterday and everything was going well until I tried to turn on WINDOWS DEFENDER. The message is "Windows Defender disabled by seller". I don't want to use any other anti-virus, anti-blah... blah package since I was an all-things-Microsoft kind of guy. Anyway, how can I go abt turning Windows Defender powered? I really, really appreciate anyone who can help me on this one.

Yes, you need to uninstall "Norton Internet Security", following the steps you provided. I said "disable and uninstall", this is because many AV programs won't let you unistall them while they are active.

To reactivate Windows Defender, go to the new Windows 8 desktop and type 'Action', click on 'Settings', and click on "Action Center"... check the status of Windows Defender and click the button "turn on Now". Update definitions for Windows Defender... and then do a full scan.

  • Need help with the reactivation of windows xp

    I clicked on a security message that came when I turned on my pc. It was obviously the wrong thing to do and probably some kind of scam. He deleted the installation windows completely. Now it says I have to reactivate windows xp. I found the product key on a sticker on the computer 25-digit and entered it. Then there is an ID that I entered when I phoned the number assigned. He said while the product is not authentic and told me to go out and buy something authentic. There is no option to speak to a human being. All solutions? The computer had windows xp preloaded when buying Dell in 2005 and never been a problem until now. I am sure that it is authentic, but am going round in circles at the moment. I can't get to anything on the computer right now.

    Hello fel_myriouma,

    The option to talk to a human being comes at the end of the automated call. When the automated caller terminates the call ' Don't ' hung up. Simple hang on you and you should be transferred to a "real" person

    You can also contact Dell to verify that the product key is good.

    You must also download the Microsoft MGADiag tool

    Run the application and display the details about it. A person can look at to check what might be the problem.

  • The reactivation of windows after a reset of the hard drive?

    Hi all!

    So a year ago I bought a new desktop computer and also bought Windows 8 for it at the same time, which they installed at the factory.  For a whole year, everything worked perfectly, until last month, 26, when my computer started throwing errors and the inability to start.  In a panic, I used the option "Reset" Windows 8 gave me and lost all my files.*

    This seems to solve the problem; However since then Windows 8 has constantly harassed activate me it... which I already did a year ago.  When I hit "Activate" he briefly said "Control key" - so didn't do anything.

    I am suspect that because of the erasure of the hard disk, Windows thinks that it is installed on another PC, and not the same one, even if it is indeed the same machine without modification.

    In any case, I'm completely unsure what to do at this point - I just want to re-enabled so that the screen will stop harassing me.  I have a sticker on the side of my PC that my product key, but there has been no place in fact tap into it, if that's even what to do.  As I said, I think that Windows still considers that this copy is on another PC.

    A little on edge of resources here, any help is welcome!

    * It's OK, he warned me and I accepted them as a loss.

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-e020us: reactivation of Windows 8 after the replacement of the motherboard

    I have a client with a HP Pavilion Notebook 15-e020us. The motherboard is dead and must be replaced. It is, of course, out of warranty. I can find used/given to nine mothers online, but worry about the reactivation of Windows 8.1 once the replacement card is installed.  Can someone enlighten me on how to go about this without having to pay for a new license key?  I met the same problem with a Dell laptop and have ended up changing the license to it, making the project too costly.

  • Reinstalling windows 7 ultimate retail after changing the SSD, the motherboard and the processor. I'm having a problem with the reactivation?

    I'll upgrade my desktop PC, by changing the motherboard, processor and SSD drive with the OS on it to boot. I have a problem with the reactivation of windows, and should I turn it off, somehow first, or the previous version will be considered as-enabled automatically? It is a retail, windows 7 64 ultimate version. Please advise, thanks in advance.

    Just reactivate by phone:

    How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
     
    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.

    Remember, if it is a retail upgrade license:

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    You can skip to enter the product key and try the activation of the phone to work around this problem.

  • Is there something available for disabling startup programs, similar to the utility of Windows Defender?

    Windows Defender had a utility called "Software Explorer", with which you could disable some programs that start with Windows.

    is there something similar that does the same work?

    You can manage Windows startup items by following these steps:

    1) click the Windows Start button
    2) click on Run
    (3) type msconfig in the field
    4) click on the Startup tab
    (5) uncheck the items you want to start with Windows.

    Note: You can also type msconfig in the search of Windows box.

    I hope this helps.

  • Shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender

    Hello. I have Windows 7 starter on my netbook and want to create a shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender. However, it does not appear as a program in the start menu and the option to display the control panel more big or small icons is greyed out (i.e., not available in starter edition), I don't see the program on the control panel or the other. The only way I can get to it is to type in 'Defender' in the search field in the start menu or the search field on the control panel. Although one of these actions will locate Windows Defender, they do not provide me the ability to create a shortcut for the application. I tried searching in Program Files on the C drive and found him, but did not know which file right-click on the folder to create a shortcut file. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

    Second, Windows Defender is updated analysis scheduled around 02:00 every morning, but my computer isn't on then, I expect to do a scan automatically the next day when I turned the computer back on. He did not do that and always displays the last analysis as being the manual I did the day before. Is it possible to get auto-start if it misses its slot 02,00 regular?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Thank you both for responding: I did click right and do drag the thing like that seemed simpler and it worked: thank you. Are you able to let me know how to get the Defender to make an auto scan when I turn on the computer if it misses its slot 02,00?

    Thank you.

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

    Seems to have cleared the error message.  So far so good.

    However, now a Windows Update does not work.  Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab.  But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.

    I also went to the control panel > Services.  Tried to start the automatic updates service.  Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer.  Error 126: The specified module could not be found

    In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August.  According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security.  At this time, my network card has stopped working.  On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum.  The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software.  I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again.  Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.

    I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737.  The difficulty it has worked very well.

    Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv.  The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step.  Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges.  Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.

    [1]... looks like you are saying that my system is so wet that a clean install is the (only?) way to go.

    [2] if I do a clean install, not only what I need to reinstall Windows and all my applications, I also have to reinstall the drivers... Etc. ?

    [3] I think I have the disks supplied with the PC system. Is it better to use than to use the recovery partitiion?

    [4A]... is there a possibility that some of [my data are] infected?

    [4] preventing me from simply infect the whole PC again?

    A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.

    A2. Yes.

    A3. Only not really well using the restore Partition hidden to make the "destructive recovery" will include all drivers, etc., that have been installed at the factory.

    A4a. Yes, a real possibility.

    A4b. You run at least three 3 tests on the backup data before restoring one (1) with your installed & updated up-to-date anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials) and two 2 with good reputation, free online scans (e.g., ESET;) Bit Defender; Kaspersky; HouseCall; (F - Secure).

    If you have saved your data on CD/DVD, the disc scanner. If you have backed up your data to a flash drive, SD card, or another external drive AND KB971029 is installed, analyze the drive.
