  If I have Norton Internet Security installed. Should I have Windows Defender running?

  Original title: what security is ok

  Hi paowie,

  Absolutely not.  See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/norton-internet-security-and-windows-defender/761d5aff-382e-46d9-b9f5-f65178b83d91.

  Please disable Windows Defender in Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services.  Double-click Windows Defender and stop it if it is started.  Then in the drop-down menu, make sure to put it off.  Click OK to save the changes.

  Good luck!

• Is it possible to stop windows defender updates?

  I don't want to use windows defender, because it does not update itself automatically so have found a better solution, called "peerblocker.

  Now turn off the annoying definition updates?

  Nobody asked someone to understand anything. I was simply stating something along the way.

  Already, I had to do a second post asking the same question, but it seems that MVP for all their skills and their realization can not even make a determination of an original question.

  I think that if I was in this thread and I had all the qualities at all that I would be asking myself what is point still give it my time, because obviously all MVP who is posting in this thread has no idea and rather than trying to understand anything of a technical nature, that is to say why, has instead allowed themselves seem incompetent.

• I have Windows Defender. Should I still something like Norton installed on my laptop?

  Original title: Windows Defender

  I have Windows Defender.  Should I still something like Norton installed on my laptop?

  Yes. Windows Defender protects against spyware, no malware in general.

  Your choice may be paid for the 3rd party program such as Norton or Kaspersky, or you can go for something free like Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Make sure you have a firewall too.

  I can't turn on Windows Defender. Is this a common problem? A way to start the program or remove and reload?

  What AV program do you use? (Not to mention your operating system). If you have MSE, or an installed security suite, it will automatically stop WD as it has its own version and runs two programs of this type at the same time causes conflicts.

• Error: "Microsoft Client Protection was found" during the installation of Windows Defender

  Original title : Blonde needs simple help

  (while trying to install Windows defender) Microsoft Client Protection was found.  Remove and run WHERE AND HOW? Im blonde, what can I say

  Looks like you already have Microsoft Security essentials installed. Windows Defender is not necessary if you use Microsoft Security Essentials. Microsoft Security Essentials has its own antispyware component builtin and allows you to disable Windows Defender by design.

• Error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer.

  Original title: trying to download

  WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.

  Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

  It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."

  Thanks a lot for any assistance.

  Hello

  ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

  If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

  You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

• Cannot uninstall Windows Defender Windows XP computer.

  Original title: uninstall Windows Defender...

  I am running Windows XP, Vista or 7. I downloaded Windows Defender on the MS site some time ago, but now I want it out for GOOD.  Can I uninstall anything else on my list of programs except Windows Defender. When I asked him to remove the program, he said: I am running in SafeMode (no) or my Windows Installer is not installed properly (not). How can I get it my computer?  I put it there, I should be able to take off, it shouldn't I?  I wouldn't be able to decide what is on my own computer and what isn't?

  Hello

  1. What exactly is the error message you reciev when you try to uninstall Windows Defender?
  2. You have Microsoft Security Essentials installed on the computer?

  Microsoft Security Essentials has not automatically disabled Windows Defender in Vista or Windows 7, you must turn off to avoid conflicts. Windows Defender can't be uninstalled Vista or Windows 7.
  If Microsoft Security Essentials does not automatically uninstall Windows Defender on XP, you must manually uninstall Windows Defender through Control Panel of configuration/Add / Remove programs.

  You can try the troubleshooting provided in the link below steps to resolve problems with installing and uninstalling the programs in Windows computers.

  Kespersky comes with Anti-Spyware too and Windows Defender antispyware. two or more Anti-Spyware in PC even cause problem and conflict, therefore, if you have installed Kaspersky and disable Windows Defender.
