• Windows not recognizing the Trend Micro firewall.

  My Windows Firewall status is "not monitored". My Trend Micro firewall is enabled. Recently I changed the State of my Windows Firewall from "Off" to "Not monitored" so I would not get a Windows security alert noting that my firewall is disabled. My question: Trend Micro says that Windows recognizes the Trend Micro firewall that is on and then start to monitor, rather than its own firewall. Why Windows not recognize is not the firewall of Trend Micro and so not monitoring in the Windows Security Center? (Yes, I'm 100% sure that my Trend Micro firewall is running, I even went through the process of uninstalling, then put it back in order to ensure with the trend on the live chat)

  Also try to update your Windows and install the latest service pack and update of trend, if the problem has NOT resolved trend contact technical support or visit their support site

• Use of Trend Micro System Tuner on a Windows 7 laptop.

  I have one and half a year Asus computer old laptop with windows 7 and security Trend Micro Titanium software. Is there a reason for me to risk to help

  the Trend Micro Soft tuner system, that comes with the software. Indicators of Trend Micro who use can change the settings and files. Visitors on the trend

  Micro Web site report some problems after the execution of the tuner. However, Trend Micro and PC World in his review of the product, recommend

  its use to speed up the computer. Because I have no serious problem, looks like an unnecessary risk to me. I'm curious to hear what the

• 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.

  Norman

  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.

  I want to REALLY Windows Defender back. How can I do?

  This thread you latch on is almost 2 years.

  Should have started a new one for you.

  To answer your question:

  > Do I need advocate? I use AVG free Edition 2012 and Wise registry cleaner.

  1 AVG is supposed to close Windows Defender. This is because AVG has his own Defender. To have 2 defenders on the same machine will create conflicts.
  Thus, you don't need Windows Defender if you moy.

  2. I HIGHLY recommend that you uninstall the registry cleaner.
  In the hands of the users done computers, registry cleaner could be useful.
  In the hands of novice computer users, it's a time bomb.

  If you have time, read these:

• Reinstall windows Defender

  As windows defender has been stop and will not start, I have one installed the same.

  Now how can I reinstall windows defender in windows 7

  I'm sorry, but I don't know anyway to uninstall Windows Defender in Windows 7, so I can't say with certainty how to re - install.

  I just ran Revo Uninstaller, and it does not show an entry for Windows Defender.

  How did uninstall you Windows Defender?  Are you sure that your computer has Windows 7?  If so, what happens if you click on Start > Control Panel > Windows Defender?

  Here's something which can solve the problem: run the System File Checker .

• Installation of Windows 8 is Trend Micro and stops

  I decided to upgrade my old Windows 7 netbook to the latest version of Windows. I want to keep all the settings, we advised me to the first update of Windows 8 and continue with other updates.

  However, the procedure stopped after the compatibility report has been done: it claims that I first need to uninstall Trend Micro Titanium V2.2, which is weird, because I do not think that this product was already installed on the machine. I have uninstall AVG and Comodo, however. As for Trend Micro, I also tried manually remove all of his tracks that I could find, including the corresponding sections in the registry (under software, Local computer and current user; also the uninstall program section).

  The compatibility report claims that I have Trend Micro installed and refuses to continue. Any ideas why this is if and how proceed with the upgrade now?
