• MSE in comparison with Windows Defender? Should I have them both?

  I'm already on Windows Defender is Microsoft Security Essentials?

  Microsoft Security Essentials replaces WIndows Defender. It does much more than Windows Defender.

  Are you already running an antivirus program? Microsoft Security Essentials can replace it. Do not run more than one antivirus program at the same time.

  I suggest that you uninstall and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials if you have no other antimalware protection.

  Windows Defender is an integral part of Vista and Windows 7 and should not be uninstalled.
  Windows Defender can be disabled if you wish.

  Enable or disable the Windows Defender

  MSE and other antivirus/security programs it's ok as those resume will disable
  its functionality.

  I believe that Windows Defender as included in the Vista SP2 and Windows 7 and
  Windows 7 SP1 is still supported as part of the support for these versions of Windows.

  I hope this helps.

• Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

  When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

  Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

  Before the uninstall and update, I ran System Mechanic from Iolo, who has done wonders for speed.

  When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

  also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

• I need to turn on windows Defender if I antiviris viper

  I need to turn on windows Defender if I already antiviris viper?

  No, Windows Defender is not necessary if you run VIPRE anti-virus because VIPRE manages the same things to Defender.

• Why my Windows Defender displays off when I turned on?

  Why did my show as windows Defender off I turn?

  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.

• Windows Defender appears each time computer is turned on

  Everytime I turn on my computer windows defender appears saying that it is turned off. Windows Defender, I opened and he was selected to be marketed. So I checked the box that said turn on windows Defender but whenever I have turn off the computer or restart it, it says that windows defender is stopped. Why this is happening and what can do?

  Hi Babyblues221,

  From your description, it seems plausible that another program can be disable Windows Defender.  You use a different type of antivirus/security software?  These are often the causes of Windows Defender turned off.  You can try a "clean boot" to verify that it is or is not caused by another application.  To check this, reactivate Windows Defender, follow these steps:

  To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps.

  1. Click on launch , t
  2. Type msconfig in the box start looking for and then press ENTER.
     
  • If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  • On the the general tab, click on Selective startup.
  • Under Selective startup, turn it off box load startup items.
  • Click on the Services tab, select him hide all Microsoft Services check box and then click on Disable all.
  • Click on OK.
  • When you are prompted, click on restart.
  • After the computer starts, start the program or game and see if the problem is resolved.
    If Windows Defender is on, there is another program that starts and stops this return.  You may need to try to reactivate each non-Microsoft service individually to find the app problem.
  • Some services may temporarily lose functionality when you perform a clean boot procedure. When you restore the settings, the functionality will be restored. However, the original error message or behavior may return.
  • Be aware that if the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from complete the clean boot procedure. You may need to contact the aid system administrator if you cannot perform a clean boot.

  I hope this helps!

• 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.

  See you soon.

• Remove Windows Defender security system in my HPXT249EA

  I have the above computer which my ISP is Virgin Media cable.  The Action Center tells me that I'm under Virgin Media security Anti-Spyware and Windows Defender.  It is said to run two programs at the same time can slow down your computer.

  Unfortunately, I can't find the Windows Defender program to remove it.  I open the programs and features page of the Control Panel, and I'm not sure that I have Windows Defender.  Any help to find/identify what program gives me Windows Defender would be appreciated.  I'm not in my first youthful glow!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Another way to disable Windows Defender is as follows.

  Open windows control panel, open administrative tools, and then open Services.  To the bottom of the list, you should see an entry for Windows Defender, cela a right click and select Properties.  In the properties windows use the drop-down list next to startup type select disabled, and then click apply and then Ok to save the setting.

  Restart the PC for this change to take effect.

  Kind regards

• Getting Windows Defender to work with installed FireAMP

  When I install FireAMP on my windows 8 PC, windows Defender is disabled (as when you install an anti-virus software).  I tried to exclude it from the analysis of FireAMP, but I feel that this is not the problem and that it is a problem of Windows Defender and how she reacts when certain other types of software is installed.

  Does anyone know how to get Windows Defender and FireAMP to work in parallel with eachother?

  Thanks in advance.

  https://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/0dcc5c18-9bdd-4A9B-B7b...

  Editing a group policy:

  Configuration of the computer--> administrative templates-->--> Windows Defender Windows components

  Disable Windows Defender = disabled
  Allow the antimalware service to continue to always run = Enabled

  With all of these policies, Defender will continue to run even after FireAMP is installed.

I also tried starting Windows Defender under services.msc - but there is no options to select with, I've attached a screen captures for this.

  Did you use the McAfee removal tool when you uninstalled?

  If not, run the removal tool, then try again activation of Windows Defender.

  If it fails, run the following scans and try again to Windows Defender.

  If it is still impossible to start Windows Defender, perform a PC Refresh.  You will not lose your files, but you will have to reinstall applications/programs that you have installed from a disc or on the internet.

• Norton Internet Security 2010 automatically close Windows Defender? __

  My set up:

  Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium, Vista SP2

  HP Desktop

  Modem DSL Connection

  Norton Internet Security 2010

  I just installed Norton Internet Security 2010. I get a pop up notice of Windows indicating that Windows Defender is disabled. When I had Norton Antivirus/spyware 2008 (that I used until the installation of Norton Internet Security 2010) Windows defender was on, but not in real time.  Then, when I'd go to

  The Task Manager > click on the Services tab > click on the Services button in the lower right

  This will display a list of Services. I scroll down and find the Windows Defender Service

  It shows NOT on and manual start

  Before the instalation of Norton Internet Security 2010, it has shown as Started and startup type automatic

  Is this the right setting with Norton Internet Security installed? I do not use Windows Defender, but I read that the Windows Defender Service is responsible for other things in addition to anti-spyware scanning.

  So should I change the startup type?

  and start the service?

  Or, as I said if I don't use it. leave it alone?

  Q. "Norton Internet Security 2010 automatically closes Windows Defender?"

  A. Yes.  It uses its own antispyware software.  Having two different types will result in conflicts and compatibility issues.
