Exactly what virus or other malware, have you been hit with? How do you have
I know? They were removed? How?

What anti-virus and anti-spyware programs you have installed? Are
they kept up to date?

Be aware that Microsoft Security Essentials and safety
software automatically turn off Windows Defender for you, because
they contain a lot of the same functionality.

    What do you use for your antivirus protection? Windows Defender is not necessary if you use AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials, Norton or McAfee. These AV programs have their own antispyware component builtin and allows you to disable Windows Defender by design.

  • Windows Defender does not work. When I try to turn it on, I get the message "not responding".

    Original title: Windows Defender

    I have Windows Vista and my Windows Defender will activate/doesn't not work.  When I try to turn it on, it responds by saying: 'it is not responding' and stops automatically.  I tried to re - install & who did not work.  Any ideas.

    Hi lskdjfoie,
     
    What have you tried to reinstall? Windows Defender or other programs?
     
    I suggest the following steps and check.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Usually if you have a third-party security software installed, Windows Defender would not work. I would temporarily disable all security software and check if the problem persists.
     

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
     
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Step 2:
     
    If this does not help, I would say you scan SFC on your computer and check if Windows Defender works fine.
     
    Step 3:
     
    If none of the steps helps create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

  • Removal of spyware, Windows Defender does not work and Security essentials don't scan?

    Anything does not work what do I do?

    In the window of reports on problems and solutions, it says that my windows Defender has stopped working all of the solutions. Thanx

    I don't know what you mean by "does not * well *," but if you mean that it doesn't at all, please answer the following question: What antivirus do you use?

    Many anti-virus programs (Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton, McAfee and others) turn Windows Defender. It's good, not bad; they turn it off becauseDefender reproduced what they do. Having both do the same thing hurts your performance and increases the risk of problems that are contrary to each other.

  • Windows 7 complete edition; Windows Update does not work, cannot install SP1 failed to install Security Essentials, ect...

    I have a laptop Alienware M17x R2 that was running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. Recently, the hard drive crashed. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled the operating system using my recovery disks.
    Loading Windows 7 Ultimate without SP1 recovery disks. I find that I can not get Windows Update in order to run - it says that "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running." You may have to restart your computer. »
    I rebooted the computer several times, without success. When I go into Services, the Windows Update Service is running and the value "automatic (delayed start). Remote procedure call is also started. The Background Intelligent Transfer Service is currently not started and is set to "Manual".

    I ran Fixit of Windows Update and Windows Update diagnosis, without result. The diagnosis of WU came up with two questions: "registration for the Service is missing or corrupt - fixed" and "the recent updates - fixed installation problems.

    I also downloaded the SP1 from the Microsoft Download site and tried to install it. Installation failed with error code "E_UNEXPECTED (0x8000ffff).

    I tried to run the system update readiness tool, but it has also failed with an error "0xc8000247."

    I also tried to download and install Microsoft Security Essentials. Which is also impossible to install with an error code '0x8004FF91 '.

    I did a clean boot, but SP1 still wouldn't install and Windows Update still does not work.

    Then I made a new reinstall of the operating system of the drive Alienware Windows 7 Ultimate original, with essentially the same result. I couldn't update anything. I'm kind of pulling my hair at this point... the machine has worked until the hard drive crashed.

    Anyone has any ideas on where to go from here?

  • Windows Defender does not work with Microsoft Security Essentials

    I just want to confirm I'm sure I see Windows Defender listed on the site alongside the Microsoft Security Essentials in a list of items to choose from - if we choose security while we can not run the Defender is that correct? Vista runs on this toshiba that has been in place. Windows Defender is not running but essentials runs with full daily verified updates scans and other readers of both records - the concern, it is that be enough security we should do other things regarding the last blackened on computers, we have seen happening with friends and the fake software updates We have seen with the neighbors not accepting real software, they thought were updated - but in the end a fake. They were running microsoft security databases, but didn't yet these things happen - no pleasure with the laptop still being down in a different place/city. Any info would be nice to hear, clear terms, just trying to help people close to home and at a distance from time to time thanks Jen

    I'll simplify the answer...

    1 Microsoft Security Essentials has his own Defender. Running 2 defenders only create conflicts.  MSE will stop Windows Defender.

    2. no security program is sufficient for protection. Be careful, to surfing and what to download.

    3. you can install "we demand" programs such as Spybot Search Destry and Malwarebytes. They do not run until you 'open '.
    I have Avast Home Edition for "real-time" protection, and I have Spybot Search and Destroy more Malwarebytes.
