  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.

  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.

• 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.

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

  Anything does not work what do I do?

  I think I have spyware because whenever I try to get on a Web site a random other site rises. So basically no internet.

  I'll try Malwarbytes. Windows Defender works, but I don't know why this isn't to find the problem.

• My windows Defender does not work well

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

  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 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.

• My vista windows Defender does not work after got rid of the virus Windows diagnosis. What can I do?

  It gives me an error code and says that my windows defender is stopped. Is it because I have installed Microsoft Security Essentials to help eliminate the virus. What should I do? I tried unistalling it and reinstall but it won't let me not just uninstall first. In addition, the virus has a sound, it does at the start and he is always on my computer when I start my computer. This means that the files are still on my computer?

  my windows Defender does not illuminate

  What other security programs you have running? Many as MSE, Norton, McAfee, AVG, etc., will stop Windows Defender because they have the same functionality, and having two programs running at the same time and make security the same work can lead to conflicts. This is by design and must be accepted by the user.

  Thank you in advance.

  If you turn your active antivirus protection on the Defender will run in this case too. I tried it on my Windows 8 Pro PC. I managed Antivirus and when I disable its protection active and turn the Defender Defender works with accuracy.
