  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):

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

• Hanging of Thunderbird 38, gel and does not question. 17 accounts pop (Win 8.1, MalwareBytes and Windows Defender)

  Since the update of Thunderbird to 38.* I had nothing but problems with Thunderbird wedging (spinning wheel waiting), a "Mozilla Thunderbird (not answer) ' in the header bar, whiting of window application out and possibly TB box in hell - a small box to appear asking if I want to - close the program, expected so he can resolve itself , or check the internet, then close. I now give the floor it the box to hell (B2H - call it all you want, but I'm cursed every time he pop up!)

  I did everything proposed here and nothing suits. I have used Thunderbird for years with all the same files and Add ons WITHOUT problem. On the first day of the 38 update everything has changed. When Mozilla realizes that it is in the upgrade and find the problem!

  Here is what I tried with nothing working...
  1. I don't have AVG, the only malware bytes and windows defender
  2. it still happens in SafeMode with no active add-on.
  3. I stopped saving function which slows down the frequency of the sinking, but did not eliminate the problem.
  4. I have deleted hundreds of older emails, thinking it was that but who have done nothing.
  5. I changed some accounts of POP at the thought of iMAP that was the problem but nothing has changed.
  6. I made several attempts to patch both Mozilla support and outdoors on the net. Nothing works. Looking at all the people who have the same problems, I have to say that the problem is handling of file. I noticed that as the issue with others who have multi files and emails. The answer is not to reduce these volumes but to understand why thunderbird managed their fine before and what has changed to make the program hang now? Who should be on your end, taken responsibility. Keep us faithful and solve the problem...

  Here are my tips...

  A. I have several files and thousands of e-mails longer and have manged fines, as matter of fact, Thunderbird has been great. Then like a good stooge I approved the moz and did my upgrade to 38. Never had a problem before the upgrade. After the upgrade, everything went to *.

  B. the 38 version upgrade was a big change. When I look in the folder that has been labeled the envoys or Inbox folder (where all emails from each account is collected), all the emails listed would disappear when I moved my mouse over them! Emails disappearing! They were there in records specific e-mail below but not but in the case of head as if it were just a day earlier and with the upgrade. I thought that as an addition on the question and waited for the difficulty that happened not so long ago. Again, which could be a problem of record add-on.

  C. the upgrade to 38 were other issues, but if the madness going no problem was not bad enough, the problem seems to be growing with each ' update or bugfix that followed. Don't hold me to it but I think it was in 38.1.2 or 8 (I think that's it. I wasn't paying attention, but if I had known that I would have to tell it, I will!) That's when hanging interminably long. When the program closed at least I got a project saved, then I read on line that the problem was the registration of open messages, I turned the auto reduction. He did change the frequency of the hanging (white screen pause) and timing (where the B2H appears), but he was always there and always!

  D. I had hoped with 38.2 there will be improvements. Nothing has changed. I didn't know that 38.3 would make this change/fix, but it's not. If I write all this, so you have what I know as a loyal user since 2007.

  E. here is what you need to complete the picture. I'm on a PC running 8.1. on an Intel i7-4770, with 32 GB of ram, now you tell me when you will issue the update to fix the problem! Once again, Mozilla, I suggest you start by looking at how TB 38 manages several emails, files and archives. Not all of us have only one e-mail account. Most of us have been really happy with TB before 38. If you can't find the question, can you show us how to get back to a version prior to 38?

  Thanks for listening and hope that helps!

• W550s Windows Defender cannot be activated

  W550 came with preinstalled McAfee. I removed the software in windows and then used the McAfee tool to completely uninstall. My system will not turn on Windows Defender. Help!

  No other AV has been loaded, but I understand it. I assumed that Security Center would be refreshed after all of these changes and reboots, but obviously was not. I went and manually restarted Security Center, solved the problem as soon as he was running again.

• Cannot install the update to windows defender on Windows vista KB915597.

  My update history shows clearly that these latest download windows defender as kb915597 impossible to install.  In the past when I had downloads fail to install via automatic updates, I went directly to the microsoft.com website and downloaded the file specifically.  The problem was sometimes due to a need to check a box for authorization.  In this case when I went to the microsoft down load Web site it does not recognize the existence of the file KB915597 so I'm at a lost what to do even if automatic updates has not attempted to repeat the download.

  Inadvertently, I managed to solve this problem.  I've just upgraded to office 2010, and to do so when the program picked up security updates for office 2010 windows Defender update KB915597 appeared and this time has been downloaded successfully.  So it seems that if using an earlier version of office may be the problem.

• Windows Update not working do not Error Message and Windows Defender cannot update Error Message definitions

  I have a laptop Dell 1501 with Vista Home Basic 32-bit.

  I ran CA 2010 Security Suite and you have scanned for Malware with regard to the Windows Update Error Message. He found none. I ran Microsoft Malware malicious tool, and it found. I ran Windows Defender and he found. I don't have CA and Windows Firewall to protect my computer and I have disabled both in trying to solve this problem of Windows Update and Windows Defender.

  I got this error 4 days ago. Here is what I tried:

  -I went on various Web sites, including Microsoft Support - and tried to solve the problem through services.msc and msconfig.exe. None worked.

  -J' noticed in msconfig. where it says start waiting next to Windows Update. There are 3-4 elements, which are affiliated to Windows Update and made sure they did not exist in the registry.

  -J' have to ensure that they were supposed to be automatic or manual under services.msc.

  -J' rebooted several times and nothing changes.

  Windows Defender does not update the definitions, and I do not know if this coincides with the release of Windows does not.

  I am at my wit's end and do not want to crash and burn my computer.

  I need serious help. Please, I beg you!

  Thank you.

  I had to call Microsoft. Alex tried to add registry keys and input upgrade.

  My Windows Update has almost been altered. It could be my mistake or it has become corrupted when running other services at the same time.

  I was sent a Windows 7 Home Premium Disc to upgrade and start over, as my Vista disk was corrupted as well.

  I would not recommend trying one of the suggestions listed on other sites. It's my personal opinion because I have in the past and it worsened my problem.

  I also wouldn't delete all programs (unless absolutely necessary) because I remove 4 MSMXL and he made their work more difficult.

  Sometimes the only solution is to call Microsoft and they will evaluate if a charge of telephone support is necessary from the outset, before they run for your problem.

  Despite what you may have read, Microsoft Technical Support technicians are very efficient and kind.

• Windows update does not update windows defender and so tried to update via windows defender that shows also no update

  Hello!

  I've always used Windows updates to warn me of updates and then I install them. Normally Windows Defender is updated daily through windows updates.

  For some reason, he is not showing / offering of windows defender updates.

  Time windows last defender of the shows has been update on my pc was 11/2.

  I know updates have been released since then for Defender, but I can't get them.

  Even if it does not automatically show me, I say manually updates to check updates and which shows nothing for windows defender.

  So, I went to the windows defender program and used the update it.  This shows also no update available.

  Can someone please help to understand what is the problem?

  Thank you so much!

  I have windows vista sp1, 32-bit.

  This post is in some sort was added here and was a dup which seems to be added after a merger.   He had nothing to with the post merger, which needs to be separated.

• Windows Defender can't find new updates.

  When I check the definition with Windows Defender updates, he says that he has no new updates, but I know that this cannot be true because Windows Defender "impossible to find" updated for about 20 days now...  So I went to see the site Web of Windows Defender, and the definition is more recently than the one I had.  Is this normal?

  Thank you
  Mike

  Hmm... For some reason, after that I stopped using advanced SpyNet membership and I went back to the basic membership, I now get automatic updates.

• 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 vice MS Security Essentials

  Hi all

  I would like to find some information on Windows Defender and MS Security Essentials it please.

  MS Security Essentials isn't just a spyware/malware scanner, or does it also include an AntiVirus program, it contains?

  Windows Defender is just a spyware/malware scanner, or does it also include an AntiVirus program, it contains?

  How the two programs compare to all spyware/malware scanning & Protection?

  I'm looking for a good spyware/malware scanner that offers on-demand so many Scaning & Protection in real time.
  I use Spyware Terminator but dropped it when they went to a newer version which had nagware in & used-to-peer for the updates.
  and that just kept this connection works, unless you remember to turn it off!

  I have 2 computers, one running Windows XP Pro SP2 (soon updated to SP3), with Avast AntiVirus & Comodo Firewall.
  I'm looking for a good spyware/malware scanner that offers real-time real Scaning & protection.  But I think I read that MS Security Essentials
  a AntiVirus program and it would cause problems with Avast running at the same time!

  The 2nd computer I have is a laptop with Windows 7 (X 64-bit) Home edition that is also running Avast AntiVirus & Comodo Firewall,
  It came with Windows Defender on it and I don't know if this is causing a conflict with the AvastAV program?

  Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated!

  Sincerely,

  Cindy ;>)

  PS: If MS Security Essentials contains an AntiVirus, how does that compare to Avast AV protection?

  Hello

  To add a bit to the excellent advice already given:

  Of course, you want excellent malware detection, however excellent system
  compatibility is just as important and many fail on the latter.

  Notice I recommend Avast or MSE and suggest adding Prevx - free that
  offers extra protection and superior detection. Prevx is designed to work along
  SIFE other antivirus/security programs.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  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.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

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

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

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

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE 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 doesn't work, even when I click on it, in the center of the Action

  My Norton has expired and I went to the center of the action of turning on Windows Defender, but it does!  Anyone have any ideas?  Thank you!

  Jim

  Hi Jim,.

  You will have to remove Norton first, download and run the Norton Removal Tool relevant to your particular product from the link below.

  Norton Removal Tool.

  When the tool has finished, restart the laptop.

  When windows has fully recharged see if you can now turn on Windows Defender.

  Also, to make sure that your PC is protected adequately, you can examine the offer from Microsoft at the following free security link.

• Windows Defender will not stay.

  Recently, I realized that I didn't have Windows Defender on my new computer, and it was on my old.  So I downloaded.  Now, every day I put on (if I remember) which I didn't do before.  I have Windows XP and AVG (free) for protection.  I don't have Vista.  When I was reading the other posts, most of them had to do with Vista and McAfee.  I need help for my computer.  How can I keep enabled?  I went to tools, properties, etc... and he said: it's on, but then the next day, I have to restart.

  I recommend that you leave Windows Defender installed, this way if you have any questions, it's a more resources at your disposal. I use AVG and Yes AVG disables Windows Defender, however, I recently received a very bad virus and after working hours to clean and remove the files manually, Windows Defender has found the final key file.  I used AVG and Norton both ran own scans. Finally, I ran Windows Defender and it finds a file viral severe level 1. After that Windows Defender fixed and the content of the file, everything is 100% new.

  She is already here, just keep it as a safety net :-)
