Windows Defender light not
I had recently installed Win XP MCE 32 bit on a new hard drive. Frequently and sporadically, I get the above message of Windows security icon in the system. It says to click the message balloon to correct the problem. Clicking on the balloon takes me to the Windows Security Center. It shows the Defender as being off. In seconds, it shows as turned on, without any intervention on my part.
I use AVG Free, the same as before the death of my old hard drive with no problems in the past and my wireless router is secure.
What Version of AVG Free? If it is a fairly recent one (AVG 8.0 and newer), it contains an antispyware component and should have disabled Windows Defender so don't not in conflict with it.
Frankly speaking, AVG Free, it's not what it was and I would recommend replace withAntivir or Avast , which also offer free editions. Expert MowGreen Windows IT Pro - consumer safety

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.

Windows Defender does not illuminate. Said he did not need with MS security essential
Asked to click on the link to activate MS Windows Defender. By clicking on the link does nothing. It told me that Windows Defender is not necessary when MS Security Essentials is installed and has probably been disabled. Should I remove Windows Defender and use only Security Essentials. Is this correct?
Hello:
It is true that you no longer need Windows Defender after installing MSE.
However, you do not have to uninstall it. It has in fact been disabled. You can delete all of your shortcuts, if you wish.
Is no longer, you try to run Windows Defender, that's why I recommend you delete your desktop shortcuts and or the menu of the program. Just pretend it isn't there. This isn't hurt anything by remaining installed.
