  You are running Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton or McAfee?
  If you run one of those, she didn't have Defender. It's
  good, not bad. Not only is there potential conflict, but there is no
  reason to have both; essentially, they have something very similar
  for the Defender integrated and running both at once will hurt your
  performance and create the risk of problems that are contrary to each
  others.

• My "windows update" says he can not search for new updates-error code 80070002. Help, please. Thank you!

  I already tried ideas to stop the Windows Update Service, removal of temporary files to update and restart the Windows update service.

  Hello

  Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
  Follow these methods mentioned below and check.

  Method 1:
  I suggest you to check if you are able to access Windows Update service and ensure that the following services are started. If it is not started, follow these steps:
  a. Click Start, type services.msc without the quotes and press ENTER.
  b. search Windows Update.
  c. right-click on the service and select Properties.
  d. in startup type, select Enable.
  e. Click Start under the service status.
  f. click OK.
  Repeat steps c through f for the following services:
  Background Intelligent Transfer Service
  Cryptographic services
  If the steps do not help to solve the problem, you can go ahead with the methods mentioned below and check.
  Method 2:
  Your anti-virus software is in conflict with Windows updates. You can test this by temporarily disabling your antivirus software. Check out the following link.
  Disable the antivirus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
  Method 3:
  The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working
  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/
  Method 4:
  I suggest that you try to perform the SFC (System File Checker) scan on your computer and check if the problem persists. Read the following article.
  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

• Clean reinstalled Vista. Windows Defender will not be open and turn on. Can I uninstall and reinstall WD?

  I use Windows Security Essentials OK, but Windows Defender is DISABLED and cannot be turned on. What should do?

  I use Windows Security Essentials OK, but Windows Defender is DISABLED and cannot be turned on. What should do?

  Windows Defender is part of the Vista operating system. It cannot be uninstalled, nor can you install another fresh copy in the system. This Windows Defender lives and dies with the operating system.

  It is called Microsoft Security Essentials, not Windows Security Essentials.

  MSE (Microsoft Security Essentilas) is supposed to close Windows Defender.
  This is because MSE has his own Defender. Run 2 defenders in the same machine allows to create conflicts.

  Therefore, it is normal to find widows Defender NOT enabled if you installed MSE.

  You don't have to do a thing. So be.

  If you want Windows Defender turned on because you want to access with the startup programs, here's another way without using Windows Defender...

  Start button in the search box, type msconfig... Enter... click on start up tab... Here is the list of your startup programs.

  at this moment I have Windows security essentials. but I want to change it to windows defender, how to make the switch?

  No, don't do that.

  Windows Defender is anti-spyware.
  Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is a combination of anti-virus and anti-spyware.

  MSE will disable Windows Defender because he has his own Defender. Running 2 defenders is redundant and also create conflicts.

  Keep the MSE and you do not need Windows Defender.

  Is there another reason you want Windows Defender instead of MSE?

  Hi eredjake,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Make sure that the Windows defender service is running on the computer.

  Set the Windows Defender service on Automatic rather than Manualor disabled . To do this, follow these steps:

  a. click onstart toreduce this includes this image, type services in the Start Search box, and then click Services in the list of programs . Collapse this includes this image

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue.
