  How can I use Windows Defender to scan an individual file in Windows 7?

  To the best of my knowledge, it is not possible.

  A cheap substitute, albeit rather inconvenient, is to use a personalized analysis on the folder containing the file of interest.  Go to Windows Defender-> custom scan and then select the folder in the pop up dialog box.

  It is not recommended to stop Windows Defender scans your computer automatically. I recommend you to change when the scanning starts. If you want to do this anyway, please try the following

  Method [1]: Disable Windows Defender scheduled task scheduler tasks

  • In the bar of charms, click settings , then select Control Panel
  • Click system and security , click Administrative Tools
  • Double-click Task Scheduler
  • Under Task Scheduler Library, go to Microsoft > Windows > Windows Defender
  • In the pane, click analysis programmed of Windows Defender , and then click Disable

  • In the bar of charms, click settings , then select Control Panel
  • Click system and security , and then click Action Center

• 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

• problems to start the windows Defender

  I just installed windows defender and scanned my computer it asked me to restart, I then went to try and open it again and it came with a popup indicating that "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Contact the system administrator.

  You use AVG, McAfee, MSE or Norton?  These programs (and several others) cannot be run at the same time as Windows Defender.  You may need to uninstall Windows Defender in order to avoid potential conflicts with your anti-malware program.

• Windows Defender is disabled

  Hi, how are you, my operating system is Vista. Microsoft Security Essentials improved this morning and I noticed my Windows defender is stopped, when I click on windows Defender to open it, there is a box to come as "Windows Defender it off' with a few notes with the insertion. Insertion, there are "put in operation and open windows defender", but when I did, another dialogue box came up saying, ' Windows Defender encountered a problem, error 0x800705b4. This operation completed because the time-out period espired. I would like to know please, if she has something to do with the upgrade of the Microsoft Security Essentials.
  I thank very you much for your help, karen bear.

  SICE you said that you have installed Microsoft Security Essentials, then this program automatically disables Windows Defender Windows Defender built-in spam protection is provided in Microsoft Security Essentials. You must not worry as long as you are running Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Not understood?

  Windows Defender is a stand-alone tool and Antispyware from Microsoft.

  Microsoft Security Essentials is Antimalware + AntiSpyware + Antivirus Microsoft tool.

  So, don't worry, be happy and relaxed.

  I hope that this solves your problem.

• Problem: Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is turned off, but I am running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Windows Security Center gives me a "alert" that my anti-virus is disabled.  I have Win XP Professtional and'm running Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials times which I recently uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled more updated.  I read related security problems, but I have not found a match.  I have a screenshot of the Win Security Center Alert, but unable to attach.  It is said: ' Windows found multiple antivirus programs on this computer, but they all report that they could be updated or disabled. " Click on the recommendations for suggested actions... [what I did without success, i.e. update.  «[I uninstalled, stop, rebooted and reinstalled and updated]»

  When I shoot to the top of MSE it says, "protection is enabled, and updated definitions.

  Windows Defender said: "Nothing detected" and "computer running normally."

  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.

• My windows Defender cannot be turned on. The error code is 0x800106ba. I did a full scan with no viruses or errors.

  Windows Defender (vista) cannot be turned on.  Errow code is 0x800106ba.  When I found this, I did the full scan by using the Microsoft Security Enssentials.  There is no virus or error appears.  What could be wrong?  Thanks for any help.

  MS Security Essentials, which apparently you have installed your anti-virus/security protection, has its own component antimalware and disables Windows Defender when it is installed correctly. If your system works as expected. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
