  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

• Windows Defender informed me that this isn't on my laptop is not protected and it lights!

  David, thanks for the info. However, does this mean I don't need Windows Firewall and Windows Defender I use Windows Live One Care? And Windows Live One Care continually performs updates or is it a time tick?

  Hello

  LiveOneCare is disable Windows Defender. Also LiveOneCare is being abandoned so I would like to uninstall
  While the help is always possible and use other methods.

  LiveOneCare - is no longer available
  http://OneCare.live.com/standard/en-us/default.htm

  -----------------------------------------------------------

  Download replacements and then after you uninstall LiveOneCare and have rebooted, go to the place where you
  them - click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and works very well)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
  Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.
  (Use Prevx and MSE or Avast and Prevx but not all 3 - a single major antivirus should be on the computer
  at the same time).

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

  Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
  (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
  http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
  a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
  Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
  a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• I can't update the Windows Defender definitions and get this message: the program can't check for definition updates. Error: Code 0xc8000408.

  Impossible to find info on what this means or what to do so I can again update in Windows Defender. This error message has begun to appear recently, or at least I think. I thought it was set to automatic update, but when I tried to do it manually because it says it's expired. Tried several times but get the same message every time.

  You are welcome. Your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or networks without a fully functional antivirus, completely update installed application. But first, let's take care of any Norton "leftovers"...

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  Now, you will need to download/install an antivirus application. While I do not recommend professionally AVG, you might find that AVG Free 9.0 more compatible if you choose a CUSTOM this time installation above and don't install NOT of Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
     http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

  Otherwise, I can recommend Microsoft Security Essentials*, Avira AntiVirand Avast (all free) and NOD32 and Kaspersky (not the suites 'internet security'). After you have installed your AV application selected, manually & repeatedly updated until you get one invites 'no more updates'.

  [Avoid Norton & McAfee IMHO applications.]

  =============================
  * Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) includes components of antivirus and antispyware protection. The latter will replace (and must turn off automatically) Windows Defender in Vista.

• Try opening Windows Defender me gives error code: 0x800106ba - a problem caused this program service stop. Help, please.

  Hi all

  I am a newbie with doozy a bit of a problem:

  Services of Windows Defender on my local computer no longer works.  The message I get is:

  «Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x800106ba.» A problem caused this program service stop.  To start the service, restart your computer or search help and Support to find out how to start a service manually. »

  I restarted my computer nothing works.

  I followed the advice from another thread in the following way: go to the control panel > click on Administrative Tools > Services > Windows Defender properties > change initially > press on apply.  It seemed that he would work until the following message appeared:

  "The Windows Defender service on Local computer started and then stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. »

  Any help, help, clarity on this issue...?

  Thank you very much! :]

  This problem can occur because another security application is used or the Windows Defender service has stopped, or components of Windows Defender are corrupt.

  You install any new programs recently? Windows Defender is not designed to protect against the extent of malware. If programs like Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG 9 and Windows Defender both run, your system may experience degradation in performance and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time. I recommend that you keep the Defender off if another application of security protection is running. These security software stop windows Defender work properly in order to prevent conflicts.

  If no similar security application is installed, I suggest that we have follow these steps to resolve the problem:

  Step 1: Check the Windows Defender service
  =================================
  1. click on start, in the search box, type: "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  2. double-click on the service "Windows Defender".
  3. click on the 'general' tab. Make sure the "Startup Type" is "automatic". Click on apply. Then please click on "Start" under "Status of Service" to start the service.

  If the problem is not resolved, please refer to step 2:

  Step 2: Save the associated DLL files
  ========================
  1. click on start, type "cmd" (without the quotes) in the box start the search. Right click on CMD listed above and click 'run as administrator '.

  2. in the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER to each order:

  regsvr32 atl.dll

  regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
  regsvr32 softpub.dll
  regsvr32 mssip32.dll

  3. close the command prompt, and then run Windows Defender.

  Hello shadownate, I think it's a normal process when you are a Member of CARDS (Service of Protection of Microsoft Active) and chose to communicate information about the unknown applications. where microsoft defender is supplied in a version of the application that does not appear in the ms database ' again (which might well be the case for firefox executable immediately after an update), they download the file and analyze it - that's how they collect new information to create signatures from unknown threats. Plugin - container.exe & maintenanceservice.exe are part of firefox and don't pose a risk to your system.

• Windows Defender blocks PeerBlock on startup, no option to 'enable '.

  I recently installed PeerBlock, I want it to run at startup. But Windows Defender will not allow him. There is no option for me to activate it.

  Please don't tell me that you need "secpol.msc". Missing from Vista Home. I really hope that the person who took this design decision got fired. Worst. Decision. Never. (Or incidentally, all versions of Windows 7 suffer the same incompetence?)
