• Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

  When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

  Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

  Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

  When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

  also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

• use Windows Defender and Trend Titanium Maximum Security

  Is this a conflict if I use Titanium Maximum Security and Windows Defender?

  You should never have more than one security product installed on the PC, providing active protection / scan. This can cause performance problems, system instability and conflicts between programs and can affect all installed antivirus product efficiency.

  Windows Defender allows analyses in real time and cannot be used with AVG, McAfee, MSE or Norton.

  Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials

  I use no trend but you could search the Forums to Support trend about your question: http://community.trendmicro.com/t5/Home-and-Home-Office-Forum/bd-p/homeoffice

  If it was my computer I would disable Windows Defender (if you use Vista or Win 7) and if you use XP, I would uninstall Windows Defender to be sure, there was no conflict.

  I hope this helps...

• 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:

  "V11.21 Autoruns for Windows"

• 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.

• My Security Center cannot see that my Windows Defender and Kaspersky PURE are active, how to fix this?

  Whenever I invoke the turn on now, he fails to get the updates (if the Defender is out of date) or it's up-to-date (because I've updated through the Defender on the interface). Regarding anti-virus, Security Center reports that Kaspersky PURE (obviously running not far from the clock on the toolbar) is / was not found. You can see in the screenshot below. Please note that Kaspersky PURE runs (lower right corner of the image) despite Security Center claiming otherwise.

  Is there something wrong with the part of my Vista operating system or what? How I solved this 'blindness' of the Security Center? Thank you.

  According to this link, you should not use Kaspersky Pure and Windows Defender on the same computer: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208281579

  Try disabling Windows Defender and restart the computer.

  If the "Security Center" does not always recognize Kaspersky, suggest contact Kaspersky Support or ask for help in the Forum Vista:

• Virus blocks all files & folders, windows defender and restore point

  I have a virus that blocks access to my files SYSTEM, Windows Defender and perhaps even of Windows Support. For some reason when I give permission from Windows to check my system for my product key and ID it cannot access. Malware bytes and AVG nothing found. Malware, I ran in safe mode. AVG was not available in the save mode. Defender does not open. IE and Windows explore are constantly stop and error too.

  My system is Vista Home Premium, service pack 1, the last I did change is the change in language. This week, I removed a very boring task bar called Babylon, who appears out of nowhere, from my computer which also seemed like malware to me. All traces of it were gone. What to do next. I tried everything I can think of.

  Thank you.

  I suggest you to install Microsoft Security essential place of AVG:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security_essentials/

  For its last database of configuration of installation in offline mode:

  https://www.Microsoft.com/security/portal/definitions/ADL.aspx

  Did you run the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=en

  In this case you could not access the page everything Microsoft domain so you need to download it from another machine.

  If nothing works then:

  It seems that malware has badly edited the system files. Fresh formatting will be the best procedure, but you can follow the instructions if you want to format it now & solve the problem by repairing OS platform below.

  1. open the command prompt (make a right click on it & "Run as Administrator").

  2. type sfc/scannow & then press ENTER.

  (the command will restore all the files system protected Windows in its original version)

  3 then he will ask the Windows startup disk, so insert & allow the time to complete the scan.

  4. once the command/scanning is finished check that your problem exists or not.

  Note: if succeeded, you may need to activate your copy of windows with its original CD key. Otherwise next reboot it will delay/deny to connect to your account until that activate you in original key. If you have no real CD key as you try the command.

  You will be unable to run this command if you have no windows startup disk. (You will need Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 not any bootable disc restore disk / retail)

  In the corruption of file extreme command may have failed. Then, to fix the OS by booting the disc.

• 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.

  What is the diffenrece between the Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials?  One is more recommended than the other or guarantee better security than the other? .. .or do they use the same definition files and also provide a safe protection?

  Please feel free to share your own opinions and thoughts on the comparison of the two programmes.  It would be much appreciated.

  If you run either of these two programs... That who and why?

  Thank you friends.

  Windows Defender is not an anti-virus program. MSE is a comprehensive security program and that you want to use.
