They are supposed to disable Windows Defender.

    Hi Mitchjr,

    ·          You have databases of security of Microsoft or Windows live OneCare software installed on the computer?

    If you have two Microsoft Security databases or Windows live OneCare software installed on the computer, you will not be able to install Windows defender on the computer. You will need to uninstall them or do not install Windows defender on the computer.

    If you don't have Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows live OneCare software installed on the computer then you will need temporary deactivation of security software installed on the computer and then try to install Windows defender.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Thanks for the reply...

    I am very prudent and wise when online and regularly scan my computer with scanning of Microsoft System but I find too slow the computer anti-virus programs don't have for the moment.

    That's why I am a little concerned that I can't access the settings of firewall or defender.

    I also refused access to my files in the file manager even if I am the only administrator and user.

    So I still have the problem

  • Cannot connect to Hotmail & Windows Live says cannot log off MSN account services.

    My problems began on 19 October. When to use Hotmail and move the Inbox, in the box sent to the deleted area, I noticed that the ads running on the right side of the page, were flicker for a moment. They were flickering or give me a snapshot, 1/2 second glimpse of the announcement, which was then directed to the side page humble. This happened whenever I would go with one mailbox to another mailbox. Finally, on some ads I noticed 'ad choice.' I'm here and renounced well over 150 ad sources.

    The same thing would happen on Yahoo Finance. The square ad that was intended for the right of the page, would try to open up to the left. Again, it was just for a moment, before the ads would find themselves on the right side.

    People were told to use IE 9.0 follow-up protection. I watched a video on it and decided to allow it. That did not help, I went back and disabled the follow-up protection.

    People have asked for a screenshot of the problem. I can't provide a screen shot of something which is an event and last only 1/2 second. Ads and tracking cookies and so forth are quire normal and predictable. However, the way in which they try to appear in my account Hotmail and Yahoo Finance is not normal and only started a few days ago.

    I decided to uninstall my IE 9.0 and did. Ads on Yahoo Finance are still there and blink in the upper left before going to their normal location in the middle of the right side. Ads on Hotmail ceased. 'IF' Hotmail is a separate program, then my new copy of IE 9.0 has not touched the issue of advertising and the absence of ads now can be due to several times, I clicked on 'choice ad' and selected.

    Now, I can not connect to Hotmail. I get these messages:

    1. on the left side, he says:
    Windows Live
    Disconnection is not complete...
    We couldn't you disconnect from these sites:
    MSN account services

    2. on the right side, he said:
    Complete the registration
    Try to clear all cookies from your browser, and then close all browser windows.
    How?< a="" link="" to="" "how"="" to="" clear="" all="" browser="" cookies,="">

    The link to the 'how' takes me a sign in Center of Windows help, where I see no sign, index.

    I deleted all of my temporary files, cookies, and browsing history. Yet, I can't properly log in Hotmail, and so far, the action of logging on Hotmail always took me at MSN dot com. Web page

    I have all the above questions, the incorrect display of ads or signature on Hotmail, when I do the test using a different browser beside IE.

    People tell me to repair-re-install Windows Vista and I'm not clear on why this is the fix here. The problem began just like ads displayed improprly on Hotmail and Yahoo Finance. I have subsequently, was to click on 'ad choice' and exclude certain ads. I also uninstalled IE 9.0. When I rebooted, Windows said there were 4 updates and 1 was IE 9.0. So, I went to leave install IE 9.0. I now have version: 9.0.8112.16421 version 9.0.3 update.

    The only thing that happened between the time the ads have been displayed correctly and when they were not displayed correctly, was an installation of 9 new Windows updates, the or around October 13. I have nothing after these updates. Then 19, here are the ads that sparkle, Flash for a split 2nd on the 'left' Hotmail (when I move around the mailbox may box) when they are intended to 'right' of the Web page.

    And now unable to disconnect Hotmail successfully. I deleted browser cookies, I think.

    Someone told me to find the cookies here: %userprofile%\AppData\Roam

    Thank you.

    Hi Ernest,

    Given that the problem is related to Hotmail & Windows Live, you can publish your application in Hotmail support forum for further assistance.
