Windows Defender does not update new definitions (Windows Vista 32 bit OS).

An error 0x80072efe code.  Tried the update through Defender site but get the same problem during the update process: it stops with this error code.

I have also continued to redirected to Web sites at random.  I ran Spybot, Ad-Aware and Malwarebytes, scans were clean.  I keep getting redirected to a site that says I have registry problems and to perform an audit. Have not yet done.
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Thank you.  I have McAfee and MS Security Essentials.

Can you tell me how can I get rid of internet redirect me to malicious sites?

 
If you have both installed and executed they WILL conflict. -uninstall one or the other, or at least turn it off
Download and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - update and run a scan complete delete everything it finds.
Check your Hosts file and verify that you do not use an unknown proxy server.
If you need more - you would be better at a site specialized in malware.
www.bleepingcomputer.com and www.aumha.net are two of the better ones.

  • Internet and the sound does not work after the ATU Vista 64-bit

    I really didn't want to display in the hope I would find the answer using Google, as I did in the past, but this one i can not find the answer for.   2 days ago I d/l a program called Advanced System Care. I was told by 3 of my friends it works well to clean your junk files, Defragging ect ect.

    After d/l and the operation of the program, I had to leave and shut down the system. Today I start everything is fine, and then I noticed that I have a red X on my speakers. This is not the red X you get when cut there a smaller lower-right next to the speaker in the toolbar. When I mouse over it, it says "Service Audio work not" when I click it to repair, so good it shows all is working (volume mixer control is non-interactive) then I go to control panel and click on the speaker and I get "this computer cannot play audio because the windows audio service is not enabled.»   You want to enable "I click Yes and it brings back me just in the region, that I was when I clicked on the small speaker in the toolbar with the red x.»  Everything always looks the same as it was when I put in place.

    Is there anything else I can look?

    Second problem happened at the same time.  I have the same red x on my 2 computer screen in the toolbar on the bottom right. When I try to repair it it says this "this service cannot be started because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated ' when I go to Device Manager and check to see if it is still showing my d-link wireless there is black! on a yellow background. When I try to access the computer to find local internet connections, it says that it can't find. I know that my Linksys is working because my Iphone is connected.  I already tried to install a cord between my router and my system and it still does not notice the internet even when you try to reconfigure.

    I read where I can make a dirty windows vista installation and fix it. but I really hope that there is a better way.  I also tried to restore my computer to last week when I made a back up and it seems after the use of this program, that he got rid of that as well. So now im out with to be able to roll back before I D/L this close program useless lol

    Hello

    One way to test if there is a problem with the display board is to connect the laptop to an external display and see if you get video output.

    If you do not need to get the CPU replaced, the best advice I have is to find a local computer repair shop and get an estimate (and to confirm the diagnosis) for the cost of the repairs it.

    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.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"
