  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

  I can't activated the windows Defender. I get this message:

  Windows Defender does not work: encounteredan error: 0x800705b4. This operation returned because the time limit has expired.

  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/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
  
  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.

  Windows Vista on my DELL laptop at home does not work with my new NETGEAR modem wireless broadband 3 G.  The modem appears in the list of networks, I just errors like: unable to connect, cannot diagnose,... Both devices work perfectly well together when connected by cable but not wireless.  Interestingly, my laptop work, also a DELL but runing Windows XP, works very well with the NETGEAR modem.

  Summary:
  Vista / Netgear wired - work

  XP / Netgear wireless - work

  I went through the NETGEAR troubleshooting guide, doing everything from changing the types of security to manually enter the MAC address of the laptop.  I ran to the ground with the NETGEAR support engineers, and they said check with Microsoft.  I am convinced that it has something to do with Vista.  Any ideas?
