What is error ox800160ab re. Windows Defender? can'tturn Defender on.

How to turn on the Defender?

Hi John

Windows Defender is a program designed to detect known spyware.

There is a problem when a comprehensive anti-virus is installed which performs the same functions as Windows Defender. This may cause conflicts between the 2 programs.

All the major programs of security/antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials, Norton/Symantec, MacAfee, etc., are designed to disable Windows Defender to prevent these conflicts.

See the following links for more details.

If you use a Symantec/Norton instead security product, see:

  • What is error code--c:\windows\ipajahoz.dll

    I have a Dell with windows xp. What is error code--c:\WINDOWS\ipajahoz.dll?

    It is sometimes easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.
    I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
    These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.
    Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
    There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.  If you do not have a good explanation for the name of the file in a Google search, the chances are good that your system is currently or has been infected by malware.
    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

    You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

    If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry
    . There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
    Given that your system has or has had an infection, follow up with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  • Windows Update not working do not Error Message and Windows Defender cannot update Error Message definitions

    I have a laptop Dell 1501 with Vista Home Basic 32-bit.

    I ran CA 2010 Security Suite and you have scanned for Malware with regard to the Windows Update Error Message. He found none. I ran Microsoft Malware malicious tool, and it found. I ran Windows Defender and he found. I don't have CA and Windows Firewall to protect my computer and I have disabled both in trying to solve this problem of Windows Update and Windows Defender.

    I got this error 4 days ago. Here is what I tried:

    -I went on various Web sites, including Microsoft Support - and tried to solve the problem through services.msc and msconfig.exe. None worked.

    -J' noticed in msconfig. where it says start waiting next to Windows Update. There are 3-4 elements, which are affiliated to Windows Update and made sure they did not exist in the registry.

    -J' have to ensure that they were supposed to be automatic or manual under services.msc.

    -J' rebooted several times and nothing changes.

    Windows Defender does not update the definitions, and I do not know if this coincides with the release of Windows does not.

    I am at my wit's end and do not want to crash and burn my computer.

    I need serious help. Please, I beg you!

    Thank you.

    I had to call Microsoft. Alex tried to add registry keys and input upgrade.

    My Windows Update has almost been altered. It could be my mistake or it has become corrupted when running other services at the same time.

    I was sent a Windows 7 Home Premium Disc to upgrade and start over, as my Vista disk was corrupted as well.

    I would not recommend trying one of the suggestions listed on other sites. It's my personal opinion because I have in the past and it worsened my problem.

    I also wouldn't delete all programs (unless absolutely necessary) because I remove 4 MSMXL and he made their work more difficult.

    Sometimes the only solution is to call Microsoft and they will evaluate if a charge of telephone support is necessary from the outset, before they run for your problem.

    Despite what you may have read, Microsoft Technical Support technicians are very efficient and kind.

    We inform you to open a slot during your day or even open your day for the problem to be solved.

    Mine took 2 1/2 hours, and they had to remind me the next day to make the order for the disk because it could not be done the same day.

  • error code of windows defender 0x800106ba

    I want to run... together windows security essentials and windows Defender, but this code keeps on appearing.what can I do to fix this? both can be run together?

    They cannot be run together - should not (even if you can find a way to do it).  All content Windows Defender is contained in Miscosoft Security Essentials - even if you run the two together it would gain you nothing.  Think MSE is an evolved version of the Defender with more functions and features.  If they both run at the same time it could cause freezes, crashes, conflicts, corruption of files, or all kinds of other problems with your system and programs.

    Do not operate together.  It is not at all necessary and could cause injury.

    I hope this helps.

    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 want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
