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.

Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Windows Defender is disabled whenever I turn on my computer. setting has been activated automatically, but a message "windows defender is disabled" keep appearing one whenever I click on it. Help, please. Thank you!

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

    If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...
    Start bittun > in the search box, type services > press ENTER > uac prompt > scroll down and look for Windows Defender...
    under the State ; It must be said Started
    under Startup type : must say automatic
    If this isn't the case, right click on Windows Defender > properties >
    under the change of automatic startup type to
    under service status to start editing
    Click OK.

  • Why my Windows Defender displays off when I turned on?

    Why did my show as windows Defender off I turn?

    What other security programs you have running? Many as MSE, Norton, McAfee, AVG, etc., will stop Windows Defender because they have the same functionality, and having two programs running at the same time and make security the same work can lead to conflicts. This is by design and must be accepted by the user.

  • Windows Defender is disabled by group policy

    When I try to open Windows Defender programs or manage the Start Up I get the message that it is disabled by group policy.

    The solution tells me that I need to contact the administrator. I AM the administrator. There is no other user on this computer.  How can we | Difficulty this please

    It is probably because you have installed an AV program or security that automatically turns off the Defender.  What you use now and what others you have tried in the past since you have noticed that?  Do you have it changed recently from something else?  The program AV or seccurity does in general via Group Policy (I'm not sure exactly how).  If this is the case, the deactivation is intentional and not a problem - if programs are running at the same time, they can cause conflicts, freezes, crashes, and all sorts of other problems.  I know that Microsoft Security Essentials for this and I know there are others that are also (even if I don't have a list of who they are).

    I hope this helps.

    original title: can NOT TURN WINDOWS DEFENDER BACK.

    Hello

    Windows Defender does not have a Firewall.

    If Norton edition is a Suite of Internet security, not just an AV, it has its own firewall, and you have disabled Vista firewall to prevent conflicts.

    And this has been explained to you by a previous contributor here, Norton disables Windows Defender, which he is supposed to do.

  • Windows Defender is disabled

    Hi, how are you, my operating system is Vista. Microsoft Security Essentials improved this morning and I noticed my Windows defender is stopped, when I click on windows Defender to open it, there is a box to come as "Windows Defender it off' with a few notes with the insertion. Insertion, there are "put in operation and open windows defender", but when I did, another dialogue box came up saying, ' Windows Defender encountered a problem, error 0x800705b4. This operation completed because the time-out period espired. I would like to know please, if she has something to do with the upgrade of the Microsoft Security Essentials.
    I thank very you much for your help, karen bear.

    SICE you said that you have installed Microsoft Security Essentials, then this program automatically disables Windows Defender Windows Defender built-in spam protection is provided in Microsoft Security Essentials. You must not worry as long as you are running Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Not understood?

    Windows Defender is a stand-alone tool and Antispyware from Microsoft.

    Microsoft Security Essentials is Antimalware + AntiSpyware + Antivirus Microsoft tool.

    So, don't worry, be happy and relaxed.

    I hope that this solves your problem.
