Windows Defender no longer works in Windows 7!

OK where do I start... I have a

Core I5 750 MHZ Pentium

Motherboard Gigabyte P55 - UD3

ATI Radeon 4890 1 GB graphics card

4 GB of Ram

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Kaspersky AV 2010

and no matter what I do I can't get Windows Defender to start again! It was working fine then one day about a month ago he stopped.

I tried to start the service on the services tab, I ran the File Checker system I ran Malwarebytes, Spybot, Superantispyware also run the trend micro "Housecall Facility", but all to no avil.nothing is to cause this problem and no matter where I turn to look on the net for more details in the forums I get the same list of troubleshooting procedures.

The message that I get when I try to start WD is error 126 specific module cannot be found. Now, as Windows Defender is integrated with W7, I am at a loss as to why this error is coming because it seems that "something is now missing" my WD to start working again... It does not start and even when I use the recovery (in services) tab, it does not start.

If anyone can help me with this question, I would be very grateful as its DRIVING ME NUTZ!

Thanks Ken,

But the info above does not solve my problem or the mystery why he was working & now it isn't.

If some security programs 'Disable' Defender then are aware of Microsoft programs are not compatible with Windows Defender?

If so, please indicate which ones claim so I can remove any program it is & try to start over the WD.

I don't know what Microsoft is aware of.

It is not a matter of being incompatible with the Defender, it is a question
a program to do the same thing to Defender. There are many such
programs, although I do not personally know the complete list. In your
case, it is Kaspersky. You should not want to have two programs
the same thing; It's just a waste of resources.

As much as I fear, do not get rid of the program do
the same thing in the Defense (Kaspersky), you must run
Defender off the coast, since it does the same thing as defender and more.

  • When I update Windows 7, Aero no longer works

    This seems to be a common problem, but I was not able to find a solution. I currently run an ASUS laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, processor i7 Q720 and GPU NVidia GTX260M. I always installed updates as required, however, when I install updates currently aero effects no longer work.

    I tried the troubleshooting, and it detects any problems. I checked that my monitor is running in true color (32 bit) and everything seems fine here. I also have the latest NVidia driver.

    If I restore the system before the update, it will return to operation. I thought he was one of the updates of windows that did, so I installed each individually (IE 10 and a defender of windows update) but the result is the same in either. I then tried to install an optional update randomly and the same thing happened. Any suggestions?

    If you have updated your Windows then uninstall the update of platform for Windows 7 (KB2670838) and your problem should be solved.

    Before I updated my Windows this month I just checked if Microsoft still offer this update. This is in the optional list. I installed so I thought to manually upgrade to IE10 because he wasn't in the IE9 update list. So I did manually and after that check updates again and to my surprise this update has disappeared completely. I have an old PC as well, and after installing all the updates I still have no problems so far.
    System Restore may also help in some cases.
  • My last Firefox no longer works and I can't fix it. I use Windows 8. I made the mistake of downloading DuckDuckGo. He immediately took over as my default

    My last Firefox no longer works and I can't fix it. I use Windows 8. I made the mistake of downloading DuckDuckGo. He immediately took over as my default browser and it would not allow me to change back. I realized that I had something that I had not needed so I tried to remove it. It took a morning full of accomplish this chore. I went back to Firefox and found that my tabs were there, but they were opaque and would not work. In fact, you could read what was beneath them. No way to get anything wthout return to the start page of Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and put it back on and it was always the same thing with the non operation of the opaque tabs. Troops you have good ideas as to how I can get my Firefox working again?

    The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
    Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.

    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

  • After the FireFox 16.0.1 in Windows Update, the address bar no longer works, as well as the search bar, but not immediately. Reinstalling does not fix it.

    Initially, I downloaded an AOL optimized version, but when the problem came I reinstalled the regular version and it was fine. Two days ago, it restarts randomly. Address bar won't go anywhere with entry or press the arrow and the search bar does any search engine. Try adding a search engine by clicking on "manage search engines" doesn't help; the 'Add a search engine' button is unresponsive and there is not in the list of your choice. I uninstalled everything, including my customizations and settings personal and reinstalled, which did not always help. I tried to disable all plugins and that no longer works. I even tried the search by looking for FireFox homepage, since at this time there, it was the only page I could do and even who would not find. The most recent that I downloaded add-on was the Evernote Web Clipper I think, but it does not seem to coincide with the beginning of the problems.

    Update: I ran a malware (MalWareBytes) program and it came with nothing. I also found in FireFox to get troubleshooting information and added in. In addition, here is my list of plugin/extension:

    Plugins:
    Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.530
    Google Earth Plugin 6.2.0.5788
    Google 1.3.21.123 update

    Glad it worked. Thanks for posting back.

    You previously installed another version of Firefox and if it did not seem possible that one would contribute to a clean reinstall, but it is not a general solution that all users should be considered without first try simpler and safer alternatives.

  • Portege M800 - after Windows 7 upgraded FN keys no longer works

    Hello
    I upgraded my * portege M800 * bought * Canada * for * 64-bit Windows 7 *.
    Everything is good except the keyboard. It's a Canadian bilingual keyboard with 86 keys with 13 function keys and a buttons on console with 6 keys (cut, cd/dvd, play, stop, previous, next).
    I don't update all the drivers because it works very well with Windows 7 drivers.

    The problem is:
    -function keys (Fn +..) no longer works
    -the buttons of the console with 6 keys (play, pause, etc.) no longer work

    What I did:
    -check the keyboard driver in Device Manager: it is a microsoft driver
    -a attempted to update a driver toshiba but * he didn't find in the list of drivers for windows 7 or vista on toshiba website *: [http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/download/PORTEGE_M800_64_cae.htm]

    So, I don't know if it's a driver problem or something else?

    Concerning

    Hey,.

    These special functions of the FN keys and multimedia keys have nothing to do with the keyboard driver. There is no update driver in addition to the keyboard. There is only the Windows standard driver that can be used.

    The point is that you have Toshiba Value added Package and Flash Cards Support utility. If you purchased the M800 in the Canada, I guess that it of a model Canadian and as a result, you can download all drivers here:

  • The mouse no longer works on Satellite Pro A200-1F9 (on Windows and Linux)

    Hello. Suddenly, my USB mouse doesn't work on my satellite pro A200-1F9 laptop. I had this same problem on my Linux (Ubuntu Feisty) for the last week or two, but today was the first time that the mouse no longer works in Windows. Ideas for what's gone wrong? (If I boot Linux with the attached mouse, I get an error message when loading upward.) The mouse does not work it is logged at startup or I plug it later).

    Under Windows and Linux, the laptop still recognizes my external HD which also has a USB connection...

    Thanks, Shoko.

    In my opinion, you should test the USB feature. If you are 100% sure that the USB ports are working well check your mouse or try to use the other.

  • EliteBook: portable pen no longer works after reinstalling windows

    Hi Larry1700,

    Your libraries are corrupt. To resolve this issue, remove each library that you would like to delete any file. Don't worry, remove a library will not delete content it contains.

    Once you have removed all, right-click on the icon of libraries in the Navigation pane, and then click restore default libraries. You now need to include all locations previously included, if you wish.
