• Is a file of Husdawg, LLC, which has been quarantined by Windows Defender from my computer, safe out of the quarantine?

  My Windows Defender program quarantined a file that has been issued and digitally signed by Husdawg, LLC.  I don't know anything about Husdawg, LLC and I need to know if it is safe to pull the file from quarantine, or if I should destroy it.

  This file path is listed as C:\Program Files\SystemRequirementsLab\SRLDetect_intel_4.4.24.0.dll.

  The main registry key is: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Code Store Database Distribution Units\ {CF84DAC5-A4F5-419E-A0BA-C01FFD71112F}.

  It is an ActiveX file with exactly the same information that is shown in the main registry key, directly above.

  The file type is listed as Dynamic Link Library, version 4.4.24.0, and the size is 594 744 bytes.  The product name is System Requirements Lab, and the original name is SRLDetect_intel.dll.

  This file has been published and digitally signed by Husdawg, LLC and it's creation date is March 29, 2011.

  This file is safe to come out of quarantine, or should I destroy?  Any help would be greatly appreciated, because this is the first time I met this type of problem!

• Windows Defender error 126: the specified module could not be found

  How to fix Windows Defender on Windows 7?

  For some time now, Windows Defender no longer works. I can't install new updates of definition and the service cannot be started. If I try to manually start the Windows Defender service, there is an error message:

  "Error 126: the specified module could not be found.

  However, I can launch the GUI of C:\Program Files\Windows Defender Defender. However, I tried to download the Windows Defender from Microsoft, but the installer launches because it is said that Defender is already part of Windows 7 x 64.

  I'm really looking for a way to get Windows Defender to rework.

  First of all, it's what I already know and what I don't want:

  • I don't want to disable Windows defender, I want to make it work again
  • I have no antivirus uninstalled or disabled Windows Defender software, the module really seems to be corrupted (I am software engineer)
  • I don't want to reinstall Windows or use the backup, because I don't know how far I have to go back
  • Windows Defender can be removed from the menu of functions and software, because it is part of the operating system
  • I do not have MSE installed, tried to install it, haven't changed a thing

  Any solution to solve this is appreciated. Advanced solutions (Registry hacks, enveloping, manual installs, work...) Welcome!

  I was able to fix this on my own. It seems that the registry has been damaged (as I thought).

  Changed the DisplayName property is property in the register of "Windows Defender" to "@%ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender\\MsMpRes.dll,-103" which in reality should not be the cause of the problem, however, the DisplayName property original of the resource file.

• want the windows defender icon in the system tray

  I want a windows Defender icioners!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  With Ken very valid points, I just want to confirm that Windows Defender will not display an icon.  This is because it is integrated into the center of the Action, which already has an icon: it is the one that looks like a flag.

  However, if you are installing Microsoft Security Essentials (and I strongly recommend that do you if you don't have an AntiVirus program), Windows Defender will automatically disabled because MSE offers the same protection (and receives updates from the same source).  However, MSE provides security of AntiVirus (Windows Defender does not protect against viruses).  In addition, MSE integrates into the center of the Action - and can be configured to display its own icon in the taskbar to your preferences.

• Windows defender vs vs. Trend Micro AVG - which?

  XP Pro, SP3 - I have an ongoing argument about these 3 programs. Which one is best? I tell Windows defender.

  Hello

  AVG seems to just cause or otherwise participate in too many questions.

  If you need to remove any antivirus/antispyware/security program be sure to uninstall
  and then run the removal of its author tool or see the site of the manufacturer for special instructions.

  ------------------------------------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  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.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE 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 just installed Windows Defender, but he does not see my Windows XP Security Center. I had to install Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows to see any antivirus. Why?

  I removed Bitdefender because it slowed my computer down a lot. I then installed Windows Defender and updated and scanned the computer (no problem) and said it was "protect my computer". But the Windows Security Center does not see any antivirus, until I installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Why? And are two antivirus programs now runmning together?

  Microsoft Security Essentials need to uninstall Windows Defender when it is installed. If youshould not uninstall via Add/Remove programs. See the following topics:

  Hello

  Defender is not sufficient protection

  you need to install antivirus protection

  you would have had a free trial for a new AV subscription

  This program must be removed before installing another AV

  read this information on the Defender:

  ·                         If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default

  the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender

  and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware

  It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do

  If the above does not apply to your machine to read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/disable-Windows-Defender-service-in-Windows-Server-2008-or-Vista/

  and here is the method to remove it from startup in vista

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/remove-Windows-Defender-from-Vista-system-startup/

  and this is how you would normally activate or disable windows defender in vista from within defenders of own and options tools

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/disable-Windows-Defender-for-Microsoft-Vista/

  either of these programs free antivirus try after removing any trial that is always installed

  use the free version of either Avast

  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  or Microsoft Security Essentials

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=e1605e70-9649-4A87-8532-33d813687a7f

  scan your system for malware;

  You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.

• Windows Defender is enough or do I need a paid version of a third-party Antivirus?

  Hello.
  I have a pre installed McAfee Internet Security on my windows pc 8. But I intend to uninstall other software like Norton or Bitdefender in Exchange.
  But I heard that Windows Defender is also a great tool, it's free. Is Windows Defender enough to be my anti-virus program permanent? or what other av programs I could use instead?

  Thank you! : D

  Windows Defender is very good for general anti-virus protection, you will read that it does not give the overall protection as well as some paid versions IE: Norton, Kaspersky, McAfee, etc.

  Personally, I used only WD for several years and have had no infection, I also got Malwarebytes installed, and I run occasionally, just to check. (Currently running on 6 PCs & Laptops)

  WD is designed for Microsoft Windows, and updates of the virus definitions are issued almost daily, which takes a few seconds to install.

• I can not access my Webroot AntiVirus & spyware protection to enable it as my security provider. Windows defender keeps "takeover." How can I fix?

  For more than a month now, I get in the right corner that Webroot Software would I discover my notifications after his scan but when I click on view the Notifications, I get the mini screen that says loading... Please wait, but nothing happens.  I can leave it there all day and nothing happens!

  I tried every way I know how to enter Webroot without success.  I just ignored it for a while, but now I get these red bombs of the Windows Defender Security of dangerous files. etc on my computer and run and scan.  I then noticed tonight that Windows is the security system ONLY of Anit-Virus and Spy Sweeper running on my computer when I always chose my own 'System' - Webroot and don't remember that change at any time.

  It is of course the weekend and you cannot get technical assistance from them until Monday, but I need to know how to pass but Webroot and not to use Windows security.  When I try to change it, it displays the option 'choose' your own but not space on the page where to enter wht you have or offer search systems on your computer!  It makes me crazy!

  I also get a local saying JavaScript:0 VOID not only when I try to choose Webroot but when I tried to buy some goods on Nordstrom the other day.  I have accidentally about a month or two ago uninstalled or delete Java because I don't think I used it and less you have on your computer the better.  Well, I think I live by myself because when I tried to reinstall, I hit a snag and it won't download it without the original program under Windows.  If the two are related and how to help me with these questions?

  I hate IE9 and wish I could go back to IE8, but those days are over... I want to just get Webroot rear Protection as my main security and get return period of Java!

  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  If you gave the name of the Security Defender program properly, you are infected with malware

  There is NOTHING to do with Windows Defender in Vista

  ___________________________________________________

  Security Defender is a fake anti-spyware that displays the results of the analysis wrong and alerts of security on your computer in order to scare you into buying. This program is usually installed on your computer through the use of the web sites that display ads claiming to be an online anti-malware scanner. When this ad is finished, it will state that your computer is infected and then prompts you to download and install Security Defender on your computer.

  Follow the steps in the deletion in the link below

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-security-Defender

  and malware, Security Defender is, STOP your antivirus and real work safety programs!

  ______________________________________________________________________

  and after getting the malware deleted, here's how to uninstall IE9 and return to IE8

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Internet-Explorer/help/IE-9/How-do-i-install-or-uninstall-Internet-Explorer-9

  To uninstall Internet Explorer

  The following instructions apply to Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

  1. Click the button start , type programs and features in the search box and then click the display installed in the left pane updates.

  2. Under uninstall an update, scroll down to the Microsoft Windows section.

• Right-click Windows Internet Explorer 9 and click on uninstall and then, when you are prompted, click Yes.

• Click one of the following:

  • Restart now (to complete the process of uninstalling Internet Explorer 9 and restore the previous version of Internet Explorer).

  • Restart more later (to wait until you stop or restart your computer).



Note

After you uninstall Internet Explorer 9 RC, the previously installed version of Internet Explorer will be available on your computer. There is no need to reinstall.

• Vista error "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Contact the administrator of the system to you. When you try to open Avira Antivirus and Windows Defender".

  Whenever I try to open Avira Antivrus and Windows Defender, I get this message: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator. "I am the administrator and I have not set restrictions.  It worked, but started recently and I can't find answers.  All solutions?

  Hi I_GHall

   

  It seems that you receive the message you want to software conflicts. I suggest you try to disable either the Avira antivirus and windows defender and then check if the problem resolves.

   

  If you disable any security software for troubleshooting temporarily, so don't forget to activate after troubleshooting is completed that your computer will be at risk.

  See the help link - below

  I hope this helps.
