Windows defender and Malwarebytes Antimalware doing the same job? boths are anti malicious or what I should keep one? Thank you guys.

I was looking for answers, but cannot find the right for me... I just want to know if boths do the same job my windows Defender cause was disabled for antivirus...

Hi Andrews,

I am glad that you posted the question in the Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you running multiple instances of the anti-virus program are not recommended. It could lead to false detection and performance degradation. You can keep o what a security program installed.

I suggest you to download and install Microsoft Security essential because it is a free and a very reliable Microsoft anti-virus program.

Download the latest version of Microsoft Security essential and install the same.

Hope you find this information useful and let us know if you need assistance in the future. We will be happy to help you.

  • my Start menu keeps popping up without touching I thought I had a virus so I reformatted and its still doing the same thing

    its all in the title

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  • Clock is ticking slowly and goes back to the same date

    Hello
    I have a problem with the time in my windows vista computer. The clock does not show a good hour. He turns slowly and resets itself at some point in the past. It's pretty hard to explain how the clock does it behave, because can not find any system inside. Here's what I observed (after several reboots etc.).

    -Clock runs slow.
    -Whenever I have set manually in windows and reboot a computer, it shows a few minutes less than it should. More manual seting of the time, is the uncertainty of the clock.
    -Time appears to jump back even without system reboot (for example when I play a game and save it twice (second record straight after the first), the game can even watch a few hours difference between these two stops.) (the second backup is usually shown as if it was in the past). Then, it works very well for a few minutes (stops works fine) and then it does the same thing again)
    -J' tried to set a time directly in the BIOS, restart it several times without leaving windows to load and the weather was exactly the same as I put it...
    -After that I put time directly in the BIOS, let windows to load and returned to the BIOS, the time in the BIOS showed about 2 minutes more time that I put in the first place.

    I tried to set different times in the BIOS, restart the BIOS to factory settings, restart windows of time in administrative tools, but I had no chance to fix this problem.
    I also tried to put internet synchronization (but it does help me solve this problem, because the weather changes very quickly).

    I really don't know what else to do. Please help me.

    Hi read Marek,

    Thanks for the answers on the community forum.

    It sounds as if the CMOS battery on the motherboard may be the cause of the issue of the time.  If your system is under warranty, you can check with the hardware vendor information you reported in your last post of it staying at 11:11 at the Bios level.  Generally, if the system is under warranty your hardware provider will help you replace it or the motherboard, depending on the hardware configuration of the system is.

  • can I play the guitar and midi keyboards at the same time?

    IM using the 3 main stage, I would like to play guitar and midi keyboards at the same time.

  • Number of databases such as Oracle and SQL Server in the same application ADF

    Hello

    In my application, I need to use two different databases such as Oracle and SQL Server. There are screens that I need to develop in the ADF where I need to involve fields of the tables in these two different databases. I just want to know - is it possible to do so in application of the ADF?

    Or to create a sort of link between these databases in the backend? Then create a view object involving some distributed SQL queries. What can I do with this type of request than anything? I mean, can I use the two insert or update operation using this VO?

    Or y at - it another way to do this?

    Please help, help here would be really appreciated. I've been stuck with this problem for a while now. I did search our forums for the same problem, but was not able to find a reliable solution.

    Thank you
    Vijay

    It's still not clear to me if you need two db tables in a query, or a transaction.
    If this is the case, your best option (to my knowledge) is to use a db link. in this way, you only need to access (for example the oracle db) and can access the objects from the other data from the oracle database.
    I don't understand

  • Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool not doing anything to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

    original title: WHY Windows Update keep up to date USELESS of Windows Defender and installation USELESS malware remover?

    I'm a computer technician who makes a TON of virus remove money from Windows computers.  Two-thirds of my tasks of repair involving the elimination of viruses from Windows and trying to fix the Internet Explorer, the worst browser known to humanity.

    I have a question about Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool.  These are two programs entirely worthless, evidenced by the fact that computers with them installed still get infected of all viruses, Trojan and rootkit out there.  Clearly, if these two programs of malware Microsoft has done anything to protect your computer, it would have been without having to release still a THIRD tool antivirus, "security essentials" for Microsoft.   I'm not complaining — the way Microsoft Windows absorbs malware like a sponge, put a lot of money in my bank account. Please keep doing what you're doing... however...

    My question is, given that Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool doing nothing to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

    Windows defender is not an antivirus program, it is designed to protect against spyware.

    If you don't like them, so do not use them.

  • Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open

    I installed Microsoft Security Essentials today and I'm trying to edit startup programs. Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open.  However, most of the security will not allow Windows Defender be turned on and I want to change the startup parameters.  How can I accomplish this?

    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:

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

    And now edit startup in Vista without using Defender programs, use one of the following methods:

    "How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

    http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html

    Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

  • Is it safe to disable the startup of Windows Defender and its services

    I use Microsoft Security Essentials on my machine.

    In the analysis of programs that I can disable to start at the beginning - until by msconfig.exe, I found Windows Defender that can be turned off, since I'm using MSE.

    Is it safe to do?

    When you install MSE, it will automatically disable Windows Defender and event he could come at the start, it does not cause performance problem. Start by opening Windows Defender and if it shows that it is disable, then you don't need to do anything. However, if it was open, then go to settings and turn it off.

    It is better that do not disable startup for Windows Defender, in case you want to uninstall MSE for a reason, you have a protection against spyware and Windows Defender can switch on. But there is no hight impact the performance on your system.

    computer restored IBM won't let me go beyond the introduction of identy... closes and restarts the computer to the same: Enter name and ID... then again, it does the same thing.  How can I save this monster?

    Hello

    First, disconnect all the external devices connected to the computer, and then try to start and check what is happening. If the same happens, then you can try to start in safe mode and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. To start in safe mode follow the link.

    Start your computer in safe mode
