"Do I have to manually disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials?
A: If Microsoft Security Essentials did not automatically disable Windows Defender in Vista or Windows 7, you must turn off to avoid conflicts. Windows Defender can't be uninstalled Vista or Windows 7.
If Microsoft Security Essentials does not automatically uninstall Windows Defender on XP, you must manually uninstall Windows Defender through Control Panel of configuration/Add / Remove programs. »

Windows Defender does not work with Microsoft Security Essentials
I just want to confirm I'm sure I see Windows Defender listed on the site alongside the Microsoft Security Essentials in a list of items to choose from - if we choose security while we can not run the Defender is that correct? Vista runs on this toshiba that has been in place. Windows Defender is not running but essentials runs with full daily verified updates scans and other readers of both records - the concern, it is that be enough security we should do other things regarding the last blackened on computers, we have seen happening with friends and the fake software updates We have seen with the neighbors not accepting real software, they thought were updated - but in the end a fake. They were running microsoft security databases, but didn't yet these things happen - no pleasure with the laptop still being down in a different place/city. Any info would be nice to hear, clear terms, just trying to help people close to home and at a distance from time to time thanks Jen
I'll simplify the answer...
1 Microsoft Security Essentials has his own Defender. Running 2 defenders only create conflicts. MSE will stop Windows Defender.
2. no security program is sufficient for protection. Be careful, to surfing and what to download.
3. you can install "we demand" programs such as Spybot Search Destry and Malwarebytes. They do not run until you 'open '.
I have Avast Home Edition for "real-time" protection, and I have Spybot Search and Destroy more Malwarebytes.For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

Hello
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
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/disable-Windows-Defender-for-Microsoft-Vista/
and read this information to microsoft:
Error message when you run Windows Defender: «Error 0x800106ba»
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931849
and if you need to change startup programs read this information on the other methods of doing it without using defender
using msconfig read this tutorial:
How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista
Here's how to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista to disable some unnecessary programs that load automatically at startup
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
and also try this FREE program Autoruns:

These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys.

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

I keep trying to update and all these errors reappear. I can't install Microsoft Security Essentials and any update of Windows. I tried to do system Recoery by pressing F11 after reboot, and it does not work either. I'm guessing that something might be wrong with the registry or there is a virus but I am not a computer wiz. I don't have the Vista recovery disc and the original disk to restart. is it possible to fix this?
I paid to get it to format in November 2010... I installed a fake Windows Vista on it (32 bits but my PC on a 64-bit password) so I had to clean install it.
I don't understand: If you paid someone to format the HARD drive and do a clean Windows, when install I YOU "installed a 32-bit Vista?"
If your parent friend had lost the Windows CD comes with the brand new computer, the person you paid use to do the clean install of Vista 64-bit?
I do not see KB948465 in installed updates, only KB956250 & KB256506
I asked only KB948465. In any case, KB256506 is not an update or a section of the play.
No, I never had any other than Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus
Again, I don't understand. If you have never had any other antivirus MSE and MSE has been installed since November 2010, why you try to 'install Microsoft Security Essentials' now?
Q: which, if any, of these updates ARE LISTED in updates installed (no update history)?
A: See the number 3, I don't see anything else apart from those twoWhat "number 3"? You see nothing else, in addition to the two updates to date?

Windows Defender will not be updated
I am experiencing strange shift of internet and I think it's because Windows Defender won't be able to update. I am running Vista x 64 final. I recently started to receive a new error every time I start my computer, something to the effect of Windows Defender service is unable to start. If I try to start it manually, I got the error: 0 x 80070003: the system cannot find the path specified.
Normally I wouldn't complain about windows Defender does not because I have my own solutions, but I believe that it is still problematic within my system. Every half hour or so, my firewall warns me to say that something in a temporary folder called mpistub.exe or something is trying to access the internet. I found this exe is a windows update, so I allow it through. Now, I believe that because the service cannot start, the update is impossible to apply and continues to go to the internet to try to get a shift to internet update, causing news for my pc everything.
Someone knows something like that? I would like to reinstall windows Defender so that it can update itself and let my only internet. And I don't mean simply turning on or off; I can't do this if the service does not start. Oh and I tried to restore to an earlier date, it is not far enough.

Windows Defender will not activate in Windows Vista
I use windows vista and after I bought Norton 360 and put it on my HP laptop... whenever I wish my PC it seems there is a problem with windows security. When I open my windows Defender would emerge but let me enable it by running the update for it. Now it lights up at all... I get a message that windows security is unable to activate windows defender on please try again later... more later she just said and did the same thing and will not let me install another version of windows defender... OH one thing... after having installed Norton on this laptop as well as my other more old or my CD/DVD burner drivers works not at all... will not read a disc at all... what happens?
You should never have 2 versions on any antivirus installed on your computer, or 2 different AVs installed.
It will cause problems.
I suggest that solve you your Norton anti-virus to address any problem of CD.
http://www.Symantec.com/support/index.jsp
Contact the Norton Support.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 should automatically disable the version of Vista in Windows Defender.
If it's not:

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.
