• 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

  Restart the PC for this change to take effect.

• I can not access my Webroot AntiVirus & spyware protection to enable it as my security provider. Windows defender keeps "takeover." How can I fix?

  For more than a month now, I get in the right corner that Webroot Software would I discover my notifications after his scan but when I click on view the Notifications, I get the mini screen that says loading... Please wait, but nothing happens.  I can leave it there all day and nothing happens!

  I tried every way I know how to enter Webroot without success.  I just ignored it for a while, but now I get these red bombs of the Windows Defender Security of dangerous files. etc on my computer and run and scan.  I then noticed tonight that Windows is the security system ONLY of Anit-Virus and Spy Sweeper running on my computer when I always chose my own 'System' - Webroot and don't remember that change at any time.

  It is of course the weekend and you cannot get technical assistance from them until Monday, but I need to know how to pass but Webroot and not to use Windows security.  When I try to change it, it displays the option 'choose' your own but not space on the page where to enter wht you have or offer search systems on your computer!  It makes me crazy!

  I also get a local saying JavaScript:0 VOID not only when I try to choose Webroot but when I tried to buy some goods on Nordstrom the other day.  I have accidentally about a month or two ago uninstalled or delete Java because I don't think I used it and less you have on your computer the better.  Well, I think I live by myself because when I tried to reinstall, I hit a snag and it won't download it without the original program under Windows.  If the two are related and how to help me with these questions?

  I hate IE9 and wish I could go back to IE8, but those days are over... I want to just get Webroot rear Protection as my main security and get return period of Java!

  Can someone help me?

• Kaspersky and Windows Defender AKA Microsoft Security Essentials

  As Kaspersky comes with new computers, it neutralizes or has any kind of problem with Windows Defender?

  As we know 2 Antivirus somehow (disabled or not properly uninstalled) in a computer is a BIG no-no, how you handle this?

  Hello

  It is not recommended to use two Antivirus at the same time. You can use Kaspersky or Microsoft Security Essential. Windows Defender is the defense against software spyware and other unwanted software. If Anti Virus is active and working then he will take over from Windows Defender. The things most important do not use two antivirus at the same time.

  Consult the following link:

• 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.

• It takes to run Windows Defender if I have Norton Internet Security?

  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!

• at this moment I have essentials.how of security I can move to windows defender?

  at this moment I have Windows security essentials. but I want to change it to windows defender, how to make the switch?

  at this moment I have Windows security essentials. but I want to change it to windows defender, how to make the switch?

  No, don't do that.

  Windows Defender is anti-spyware.
  Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is a combination of anti-virus and anti-spyware.

  MSE will disable Windows Defender because he has his own Defender. Running 2 defenders is redundant and also create conflicts.

  Keep the MSE and you do not need Windows Defender.

  Is there another reason you want Windows Defender instead of MSE?

• If the window Defender performs the same work as McAfee Total Security, why is it when I uninstall the McAfee I get a message that I don't have anti-virus protection?

  Above says it all.

  Above says it all.

  They do * not * do the same thing. Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program only. When you uninstall McAfee, you have p anti-spyware [protection, but no anti-spyware protection.]

  Moreover, in my opinion, McAfee is one of the worst of the available security programs.  For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (do not run more than one) of the following three:
   
  Avira AntiVir
  Avast

  "Do I have to manually disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials?
  A: If Microsoft Security Essentials did not automatically disable 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. »

• Windows Defender can co-exist with MS Security Essentials? With the Defender had MsMpEng resourse problem.

  My system resources were used to the top by MsMPEng.exe when investigating, looked that Windows Defender was the problem.  Installed MS Security Essentials seems to have solved the problem.

  For those who are on the cable of the Charter as an ISP provider, F-Secure will suck all your cpu cycles to the top

  If you use Microsoft Security Essentials, there is no need to use Windows Defender. You can disable that and just let Microsoft Security Essentials run things. Microsoft® Security MVP, 2004-2009

  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.

• Microsoft Security Essentials replaces Windows Defender and what is the difference?

  Microsoft Security Essentials has a download of much larger definitions (45 MB) Windows Defender (about 13 MB). That means more MSE WD do? The current definitions of MSE download contains the same version of engine 1.1.5502.0 as the current update of WD. How about a link to MS site to learn what MSE; In addition, compared to the WD curiously enough, can not find such a link on the MSE sites.

  Norton, to less than the latest version, is a Devourer of known resources.
