Windows 7 / cannot turn on Windows Defender
Hello
I'm running Windows 7 Pro. I have no antivirus running software and or installed. I have no signs apparent or perceptible to a virus infection or malware on my PC. Everything seems to work very well. Today, I checked on Windows Defender to see how it worked and possible search implemented to update and the application has been disabled. I was not able to re - turn Windows Defender on or via the Panel control or even after attempts to modify the Windows registry.
In the registry, I sailed to "Windows Defender" and I chose 'DisableAntiSpyware' then 'change '. I've changed the 'value data' from '1' to '0' and no change just the following error as you can see. I tried to remove the "1" value in the "value data" and still no change, just the error message. Here is the error message I received: "error editing value cannot change DisableAntiSpyware: error writing to the new content value.
I don't know if it is advisable to do so, but I even tried in vain to remove 'DisableAntiSpyware' from the registry and I got a different error message: "error deleting values unable to delete all specified values."
I consider myself a moderate computer user. I can install memory sticks and even a sale of hard drive option, I'm not all that only warned. Can someone please? I only want to activate Windows Defender continue to use it again.
Thank you
Malware does not always of obvious signs.
On Windows 7, Windows Defender is not complete antimalware application. You can find details on what he do in the section appropriate forum - Virus and Malware Note that Windows Defender on Windows 7 is not the same application as Windows Defender on Windows 10.
I urge you to cancel all changes made in the registry. You have no way of knowing what effect these changes could have in the future.
You really need to have an anti-malware application installed. You can install MS Security Essentials for use until you have the time to look for a decent [MSSE doing pretty bad in efficiency tests].
After installing a utility decent antimalware software.
- Scan your entire computer
- scan all computers which were networked with her and
- Scan all USB keys, external hard drives & other devices containing storage such as MP3 players that have been used in the computer of the object or one of the computers which were networked with him.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Opinions on the antimalware utilities vary. This is a support forum for users where users ask questions and answer questions users - there are both good & bad opinions on most of the anti-malware utilities. Some of these views were clearly trained many years ago but have persisted as prejudice blind while it was impossible for me to draw a strong conclusion of the opinions of the users.
I read several reviews online [PCMag & others] and noticed that many of them according to their critics on the very source of the results of tests of effectiveness . So I investigated this source directly instead. I studied the results for Windows 7 and Windows 10 Android so that I could use the same solution on them all. I limited my detailed studies of these utilities that had reached the maximum score for effectiveness [detection & prevents malware] and then ranked compared to other factors presented as their load on the computer. The shortlist was Norton, ESET, Bitdefender, Kaspersky and trend.
Initially, I bought Norton. It does not load the system in the way that it used to do years ago. However, as several users reported in this forum & in the Norton forum, was undetected errors of installation on Windows 10 which resulted to the built-in Windows Defender is not properly disabled with implications that follow on Windows update. When it became clear that their helpdesk didn't have a clue about the problem, I put in a cell.
I finally chose Bitdefender.
BitDefender online technical support is also useless that almost everything the world online helpdesk, but I decided that the efficiency was the most important factor. BitDefender support get there late account, but only if you repeatedly tell them that their previous response has not correctly solve the problem. The only decent helpdesk, I found was Malwarebytes, which were excellent, but their software has not released very well in tests of effectiveness.

Windows Defender (vista) cannot be turned on. Errow code is 0x800106ba. When I found this, I did the full scan by using the Microsoft Security Enssentials. There is no virus or error appears. What could be wrong? Thanks for any help.
MS Security Essentials, which apparently you have installed your anti-virus/security protection, has its own component antimalware and disables Windows Defender when it is installed correctly. If your system works as expected. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

I am experiencing 0x800106ba, cannot turn on Windows Defender. What should I do?
This has happened more than a year now, I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials and Avira antivirus, however I want to access the startup programs to make my computer run faster. I would much appreciate it if you could help with this problem. Thank you in advance.
Microsoft Security Essentials will stop Windows Defender running. It is not a good idea to have two running at the same time antivirus programs.
To disable startup programs use the system setup program. Type msconfig in the search box of the start menu and press to enter.

You should try the following steps:
- Manually start the Security Center Service
Click Start, click Run, type "services.msc". Scroll down and double-click Security Center. Set starts off in automatic. Click on 'start. Restart your computer and check if it is running.
- Manually launch the .exe
Right click and "run as Administrator" on C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe
- Registry
Look for the value DisableAntiSpyware at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender and delete who appreciate, but make a backup first.
- Make sure you have a file named "wscui.cpl" in the Windows\system32 folder. If so, try to start, if not, you can copy it from another PC.
Perhaps all this steps work for you.

Original title: trying to download
WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.
Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system. the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ? I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.
It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."
Thanks a lot for any assistance.

Hello
· You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?
If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.
You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

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.

Windows Defender appears each time computer is turned on
Everytime I turn on my computer windows defender appears saying that it is turned off. Windows Defender, I opened and he was selected to be marketed. So I checked the box that said turn on windows Defender but whenever I have turn off the computer or restart it, it says that windows defender is stopped. Why this is happening and what can do?
Hi Babyblues221,
From your description, it seems plausible that another program can be disable Windows Defender. You use a different type of antivirus/security software? These are often the causes of Windows Defender turned off. You can try a "clean boot" to verify that it is or is not caused by another application. To check this, reactivate Windows Defender, follow these steps:
To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps.
- Click on launch
, t - Type msconfig in the box start looking for and then press ENTER.
- If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
- On the the general tab, click on Selective startup.
- Under Selective startup, turn it off box load startup items.
- Click on the Services tab, select him hide all Microsoft Services check box and then click on Disable all.
- Click on OK.
- When you are prompted, click on restart.
- After the computer starts, start the program or game and see if the problem is resolved.
If Windows Defender is on, there is another program that starts and stops this return. You may need to try to reactivate each non-Microsoft service individually to find the app problem. - Some services may temporarily lose functionality when you perform a clean boot procedure. When you restore the settings, the functionality will be restored. However, the original error message or behavior may return.
- Be aware that if the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from complete the clean boot procedure. You may need to contact the aid system administrator if you cannot perform a clean boot.
I hope this helps!

Defender off the coast and it's good, not bad. It turns off the Defender because
It contains the same features.There are a few other anti-virus programs that do the same

You are running Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton or McAfee? If so, there is no problem. All those (and perhaps others) turn off defender because of duplication with what they do.

Yes, that's why. Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton, and
McAfee all turn them off Defender. It's good, not bad. Not only is at - it
potential conflict, but there is no reason to have both. they are all
basically have something very similar to the built-in Defender.
and both running at once will be your performance level and create the
risk of problems that are contrary to each other.also try to stop a web sight to come whenever I start the computer. Cannot delete because the Defender is not on.
It is not correct that you can't remove it without defender. Use
MSCONFIG, which is part of Windows.Ken Blake (MS-MVP)
