Windows Defender - start
(On Vista) Windows Defender does not start automatically when I turn on the computer - it must be done manually each time. I checked the Options and Protection in real time and boxes / recommended by default are all checked. Defender appears on my list of startup programs.
I have AVG Anti-Virus Free version - is it relevant?
Would appreciate advice, please.
There is a problem with AVG.
http://forums.Avg.com/ww-en/AVG-Free-Forum?sec=thread&Act=show&ID=93787
Read about it at the highest AVG forums.
Read the above, Google mentions.
If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.
Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and it automatically disables the version of Vista in Windows Defender.
If it's not:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off
Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.
Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.
See you soon.

Windows Defender start-up question
Since the update of Microsoft OS, I have problems to get Windows defender to start and sometimes it will not.
1. I cleaned the junk files and defraged the hard drive.
2. start Windows Defender with IS turned off and I still will not start most of the time.
3 made regular Virus/Spyware scans with MS - SE (no infected files found never)
4 downloaded and scanned for spyware with Malwarebytes (clean)
5 used Process Explorer to identify what is running during the startup of the program (synchost)
I keep a clean machine and get no error pop ups, or journal entries to identify the problem. The white circle turns right away until I have shut down the program.
I can't hardly get out of this program (unauthorized) I'm impossible to uninstall and reinstall (Trusted Installer)
I n ' t want to reverse engineer this program, I would like it to work. "
Any help would be great. Thank you.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials on Vista x 32. Security Center tells me to start Windows Defender. I click to start, but he tells me that I have to restart my computer or manually start Defender myself. I go to services, and it does not advocate. It basically tells me that my system has no need currently the program or there is another reason, it does not start. Responses tells me that for the error code of course, I met error 0x800106ba later Code it tells me to try to start it manually if it doesn't work I have uninstall Defender and need to reinstall it. Yet when I go to uninstall programs, Defender is not listed. I tried to install it again because it is not listed, I thought I could. When I went to install it, it-error telling me that I have already as it came pre-installed with Vista.
Now, my question. Do I really need Defender since I use Microsoft Security Essentials? Is in fact an older version almost essential? Why it tells me to start it if it is not needed? And if necessary, why it won't start

MSE and other AVs disable defender; or should do
and uninstall any AV installed before installing MSE
installed 2 AVs cause system problems
read this information on the Defender:
· If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default
the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender
and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware
It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do
If the above does not apply to your machine to read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable
and here is the method to remove it from startup in vista
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/remove-Windows-Defender-from-Vista-system-startup/
and this is how you would normally activate or disable windows defender in vista from within defenders of own and options tools

and read this information to microsoft:
Error message when you run Windows Defender: «Error 0x800106ba»

Windows Defender is abandoned and forbids me to control startup programs
I am running Vista on a 32-bit computer. I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed and it works fine. I tried to change my startup from the Control Panel programs today. As soon as I click on this link, a message appears that says that Defender is stopped.
If I click on the link to turn it on, after a few seconds it comes back with an error message. I can't go beyond that point. I don't advocate in my list of programs to uninstall. It is not yet on all programs. I see it in the Program Files folder.
How can I get rid of the Defender, so I can edit my startup programs? It is my understanding that I didn't need a defender with Essentials installed.
TIA
> But the fact remains, I can't in normal user friendly way. How should I do?
This statement is a misconception...
You used to get to the via Windows Defender start-up programs. That's all.
The "msconfig" is a method that you is not worn. This does not mean that it is not "user friendly". You didn't know its existence. That's all.
For an example, everyone will tell you how to get to Windows Defender of
Start < control="" panel=""> etc. etc. TEC.What happens if I tell you, go to Windows Defender by...
Start > Search box, type windows defender > press the Enter key > and this is windows Defender.What happens if I tell you, to create a desktop shortcut of Windows Defender, so next time just click the shortcut.
So which way is easy to use? For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

I can not get my work window Defender
I hit the defender of the window and I can not go to work it says contact your computer peron and he says to activate Group Policy
Hello anonymous 334,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums.
Make sure you have Windows Defender active:
Open Windows Defender by clicking on the button start , clicking all programs, and then click Windows Defender.
Click on tools and then click Options.
Under the administrator options, select or clear the check box use Windows Defender and then click Save. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Do you have any other type of antivirus installed on your computer? What other security products are installed on your host computer (anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spam, firewall, etc.)?
These can interfere and stop Windows Defender from work. I would try and disable the other product temporarily and see if Windows Defender starts.When you enter the Services (services.msc), the Windows Defender service applet is listed for the automatic start mode? This is shown as disabled, then it never starts.
If it is shown as currently stopped (with automatic or manual startup mode), can manually start you it?You have errors where the viewer in the application log dealing with Windows defender? If so, then that can give you a clue as to what is perhaps the problem.
If please reply back and let us know the results of your tests.
Thank you

Windows Defender does not start... have webroot
I get the window to the windows defender, but I think webroot won't start... I would like to have the defender of windows as a back up but cannot get it to start...
Hi DBrosius,
These two are spyware software products (except if you have the version of Webroot AV). Many programs closed AV Defender since running both at the same time can cause conflicts, freezes, crashes and other problems and also to prevent each product to perform as well as he can and that instead of increasing the protection you are actually decreases the protection. This would happen with MSE, Norton, McAfee, Avast, Avira, AVG and many others. Check with the technical support of Webroot to see if their product (whatever one you bought) also turns off defender. If so, you should not try to replace and run Defender in any case or you will get into trouble at some point.
If you have the version which only works for spyware, then you understand that neither product you defends against viruses, worms, Trojans and many other forms of malicious software out there and need to install an AV like MSE ASAP program if you have not already another such program (and if so (, it may be this program that blocks the Defender and not Webroot).
In short, if you install MSE you complete protection and it will be disabled Defender and Webroot will be either redundant or, if it is running in real time or is a product of the VA, will have to be uninstalled as using the appropriate to clear leftover removal tool may leave behind. This is my recommendation for you - but the decision is yours.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
