• Windows Defender Software Explorer to allow a program that I have disabled.

  I was able to use the Windows Defender Software Explorer to DISABLE a startup program.  The program was DELL QUICKSET.  Now I would like to REACTIVATE the same program, but when I select, all three buttons, DISABLE, ENABLE, and REMOVE stay gray.

  I have the same program for the 4 other programs that I have disabled grayed out, I select and buttons are still grayed out, although earlier, I was able to use the same method to disable gthem.

  You cannot use Autoruns to disable programs, just control those who start or do not start at startup (if they were added by the program, or Vista).  I don't know why Software Explorer does not activate the ptorgrams - should be because this is the program that the disabled.  Maybe it's an update or some type of permissions (or problem of corruption in the program that cannot be uninstalled or re-installed on Vista without a Vista in its entirety.

  We will try this.  Go to C:\Program Data\ Microsoft\Windows Defender\Software off Explorers\ items in the startup folder.  Check the list for the item you want to activate (it should be here as disabled).  Try to delete or otherwise remove this item from the folder.  If necessary, try to right click on the element, and then click Run as administrator (if this option is available).  If not, right-click on the item and click Properties, then security and give you all the rights and ownership (you will have to do it for the folder itself, or perhaps even its parent folder as well or as high as necessary to obtain permissions and ownership).

  If this does not work, try to use one of the following free products to remove the file...  Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  If this does not work, try to uninstall the program and reinstall again (if you have the software or you can get it from the manufacturer's web site)., Dell is good enough to make available software downloads.

  If this does not work, try Windows Defender Discussion Group at:http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/newsgroups/reader/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.private.security.spyware.general&lang=en&cr=US&r=33d293cc-19b6-404b-865b-565a73822c7f where experts advocate may be able to solve your problem.

• Windows Defender - Application not found (in Windows 7 professional OS)

  Hello

  I have a computer running on Windows 7 Professional on my place of work. However, Windows Defender does not seem to work properly because it cannot be opened when searched for in the START Menu and the Windows Defender icon is not correct (please refer to the screenshot below):

  

  Probably, I suppose that someone had deleted the Windows Defender software before I used the computer.

  I would like an active Windows Defender to protect your computer. If all goes well, it can be fixed or re-install the software on the computer.

  Please, can someone help me with the correct solution?

  Thanks in advance,

  Jenn

  By your screenshot, it seems you have installed MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials).  The first icon beside the ORB start.  If it is enabled, the Defender must be disabled.

  MSE is supposed to disable Defender when it is installed.  They should not be run at the same time.

  There are a few explanations here:

• Windows Defender error 126: the specified module could not be found

  How to fix Windows Defender on Windows 7?

  For some time now, Windows Defender no longer works. I can't install new updates of definition and the service cannot be started. If I try to manually start the Windows Defender service, there is an error message:

  "Error 126: the specified module could not be found.

  However, I can launch the GUI of C:\Program Files\Windows Defender Defender. However, I tried to download the Windows Defender from Microsoft, but the installer launches because it is said that Defender is already part of Windows 7 x 64.

  I'm really looking for a way to get Windows Defender to rework.

  First of all, it's what I already know and what I don't want:

  • I don't want to disable Windows defender, I want to make it work again
  • I have no antivirus uninstalled or disabled Windows Defender software, the module really seems to be corrupted (I am software engineer)
  • I don't want to reinstall Windows or use the backup, because I don't know how far I have to go back
  • Windows Defender can be removed from the menu of functions and software, because it is part of the operating system
  • I do not have MSE installed, tried to install it, haven't changed a thing

  Any solution to solve this is appreciated. Advanced solutions (Registry hacks, enveloping, manual installs, work...) Welcome!

  Kind regards

  I was able to fix this on my own. It seems that the registry has been damaged (as I thought).

  Changed the DisplayName property is property in the register of "Windows Defender" to "@%ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender\\MsMpRes.dll,-103" which in reality should not be the cause of the problem, however, the DisplayName property original of the resource file.

  WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.

  Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

  It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing.

  Hello

  ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

  If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

  You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

  Hello Chinared,

  You have a different Malware/antivirus program?  If so, you can remove Windows Defender by following the instructions on the link below.  If not, I would not recommend remove Defender because it leaves your computer unprotected.

  http://www.ehow.com/how_4881875_uninstall-Windows-Defender-manually.html

  With respect to the withdrawal of MSN, I don't know what you mean.  Are you referring to change your homepage, by deleting the preloaded software, etc. ?

  Regarding the modules, it's entirely your call.  According to the version of Internet Explorer you are using, simply do a search on the web of IE (version) without Add-ons. This will give you the steps to remove them if you want.

  Let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problems.

  See you soon

• Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool not doing anything to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

  original title: WHY Windows Update keep up to date USELESS of Windows Defender and installation USELESS malware remover?

  I'm a computer technician who makes a TON of virus remove money from Windows computers.  Two-thirds of my tasks of repair involving the elimination of viruses from Windows and trying to fix the Internet Explorer, the worst browser known to humanity.

  I have a question about Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool.  These are two programs entirely worthless, evidenced by the fact that computers with them installed still get infected of all viruses, Trojan and rootkit out there.  Clearly, if these two programs of malware Microsoft has done anything to protect your computer, it would have been without having to release still a THIRD tool antivirus, "security essentials" for Microsoft.   I'm not complaining — the way Microsoft Windows absorbs malware like a sponge, put a lot of money in my bank account. Please keep doing what you're doing... however...

  My question is, given that Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool doing nothing to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

  Windows defender is not an antivirus program, it is designed to protect against spyware.

  If you don't like them, so do not use them.

• Difference between software malicious removal tool and Windows Defender

  What is the difference between the difference between software malware removal tool and Windows Defender?

  Windows Defender is a program that you install on your computer.  It runs automatically and continuously, prevention of new infections of spyware and the removal of the 'old'.

  Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool is not installed and does not work automatically.  You can run it manually to remove specific malicious software it is seeking.

  Hello

  Yes you still need an antivirus program and you are right that Norton tends to cause problems.

  Norton Removal Tool
  http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

  You want to remove Norton and old and even uninstalled antivirus can leave remnants then download and run
  the Norton Removal Tool. Also, I would get Avast and Prevx and you should be in good shape.

  Download the 3 to get back to after removing the McAfee antivirus.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT after each.

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

  Here is what I use:

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.

  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

  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
  Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes

  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.

• Windows Defender stop working after the malicious software removal tool

  I ran windows software and after this removal tool, my windows Defender stopped working says its turned off, but when I try to turn it on nothing happens

  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 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.

  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". 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.

  If the problem persists, please after return.
