envy dv7: how to turn off "Windows defender"?
How can I turn off "Windows defender"?
Hello Steve,.
Welcome! Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.
Usually, if you install the 3rd AV software part (for example, Kaspersky, Norton, McAfee, Tredn Micro...) it allows to disable Windows Defender. However you can do it manually.
Several options are described here

When I try to play something on the media player, it asks me to turn off windows then turn it back on. But when I do that it asks the same thing again.

I used the icon, do a right click Select custom, see what updates there and install them when I was ready. no longer works like that. Today, as yesterday for is, I see the icon it says XX % downloaded, the icon disappears and then it's as if I never had the update. When I go to turn off windows he installs the updates received. very inconvienent. Any advice. I checked my settings, always the same "download and draw attention to me..." "Thank you.

Something in my system turns off Windows Defender.
Something in my system turns off Windows Defender once from time to time, and I have to keep back on.
I am running Windows XP and security programs I use are Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool,
Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware from Lavasoft.
I normally have all running at the same time, and with Spybot SD have also resident 'SD Helper' and 'Tea Timer"active.Any ideas what could cause this problem?
Hello
As you use Microsoft Security Essentials, the reason for this is that MSE has its own version of the Defender as part of its program.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
Read this information about it:
"Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
Q: I have to manually disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials?
If Microsoft Security Essentials does not automatically uninstall Windows Defender on XP, you must manually uninstall Windows Defender through Control Panel of configuration/Add / Remove programs.See you soon.

I think I accidentally turned off Windows Defender by using Windows Defender. Now, Windows Defender does not start. How can I get this start?
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.
And also read this:
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 it automatically disables the version of Vista in Windows Defender.
See you soon.

Why security essientials keep turn off windows Defender. ?
Why essential security keep turn off windows Defender?
Hello
Windows Defender features are included in MSE, defender of loading would be redundant.
Windows Defender antispyware =
MSE is antivirus + antispyware.
Then think about MSE as Windows Defender with more added (which is).
===========================================
Here's what I use and recommend:
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.
Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
(Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.htmlOr use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.

http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.aspAlso get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.I hope this helps.

my windows 7 will not let me turn off windows media center
When I boot, windows media lights and substitute what I'm trying to do. I don't want to turn it off. I tried to start menu, type misconfig. Windows Media blocks the screen. How can I disable this function and use my other icons. I can not even my games coming so I can play
Hello
To enable disable Windows Media Center (WMC), follow these steps:
1. click on the Start button and select Panel.
2. click on programs and features.
3. click on or turn off Windows features turn on on the left pane.
4. develop the multimedia features and uncheck Windows Media Center.
5. click on Yes and OK to continue.
6. restart the computer.
WMC would disappear now.
Please note that WMC remains stored on your hard drive and you can turn it back on if you want. Turning off WMC does not uninstall the feature, and it does not reduce the amount of disk space used by the same.

Firefox anime creations tab and window. For example, on OS X, a new window is animated to grow from the center of the screen.
Tab animation can be turned off by setting the "browser.tabs.animate" property false How can I do the same thing for windows?
Thank you!
My setup: OS X with Firefox 28 10.9.2
I'm not aware of any setting of Firefox for windows animations.
I'm not a Mac user, so don't know is not the answer. Such a question is probably best suited to a Mac rather than the Firefox support forum. A quick websearch suggests Mac animations are not controlled at the global level. This apple thread should at least partially answer your question

Touch pad to turn off Windows 7 when the mouse remotely installed as I could in Windows XP
In Windows XP, I could go to control pannel, mouse and click to Disable Touchpad when another mouse was attached. It would be automatically on the touch pad if no mouse was attached USB. I couldn't locate any method or the answer that allowed a change of software touchpad in Windows 7.
I had an old Dell D820, installed Win7 and couldn't find a way to disable the touchpad and keys/stick. Based on other suggestions, I went to the Dell website and downloaded the drivers Vista (Win7 drivers not available). As soon as he installed and rebooted, I had an icon in the Sys Tray (by the clock) that I could then select a setting to turn off when the external mouse connected. So for those who said it is a pilot thing, I agree with them.
