  Windows Defender is disabled whenever I turn on my computer. setting has been activated automatically, but a message "windows defender is disabled" keep appearing one whenever I click on it. Help, please. Thank you!

  If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

  If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...
  Start bittun > in the search box, type services > press ENTER > uac prompt > scroll down and look for Windows Defender...
  under the State ; It must be said Started
  under Startup type : must say automatic
  If this isn't the case, right click on Windows Defender > properties >
  under the change of automatic startup type to
  under service status to start editing
  Click OK.

• How to manage startup programs when Windows Defender is disabled?

  How to manage what programs to start with Windows when Windows Defender is disabled?  I am running Vista Home SP2 with Microsoft Security Essentials.

  http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_is_msconfig_on_vista

  You can use msconfig or the program below.

  And search for particular software tools > Options re start.

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

• Windows Defender is disabled by group policy

  When I try to open Windows Defender programs or manage the Start Up I get the message that it is disabled by group policy.

  The solution tells me that I need to contact the administrator. I AM the administrator. There is no other user on this computer.  How can we | Difficulty this please

  It is probably because you have installed an AV program or security that automatically turns off the Defender.  What you use now and what others you have tried in the past since you have noticed that?  Do you have it changed recently from something else?  The program AV or seccurity does in general via Group Policy (I'm not sure exactly how).  If this is the case, the deactivation is intentional and not a problem - if programs are running at the same time, they can cause conflicts, freezes, crashes, and all sorts of other problems.  I know that Microsoft Security Essentials for this and I know there are others that are also (even if I don't have a list of who they are).

  I hope this helps.

  Thanks and good luck!

• Windows Defender is disabled and won't restart.

  For some reason my windows defender has stopped itself. I tried to turn it back on without success to date.

  Hello

  Windows Defender does not have a Firewall.

  If Norton edition is a Suite of Internet security, not just an AV, it has its own firewall, and you have disabled Vista firewall to prevent conflicts.

  And this has been explained to you by a previous contributor here, Norton disables Windows Defender, which he is supposed to do.

  There is nothing to worry.
