  Windows Defender does not have a Firewall.

  If Norton edition is a Suite of Internet security, not just an AV, it has its own firewall, and you have disabled Vista firewall to prevent conflicts.

  There is nothing to worry.

  If you have Norton, McAfee, Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, etc installed, they will disable the Defender by purpose.

  Read about Defender:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

  Enable or disable the Windows Defender

  When Windows Defender is on, you're alerted when spyware and other potentially unwanted software attempts to settle, run on your computer, or change important Windows settings. If you use the default settings, Windows Defender will also check for new definitions, regularly search for spyware and other potentially unwanted software, and automatically remove any detected item that has a recommended removal action.

  1. Open Windows Defender by clicking on the button start , clicking all programs, and then click Windows Defender.

  2. Click on tools and then click Options.

  3. 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.

  If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

  If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...
  Start bittun > in the search box, type services > press ENTER > uac prompt > scroll down and look for Windows Defender...

• the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable and I don't know who to make it work again

  the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable, and I don't know who to make it work again.

  Hello

  Toshiba has also map of keys which allow easy adjustment of the TouchPad. See support for Toshiba
  and Forums. The key shortcut for the TouchPad, if they are responsible in the Fn + F9 or see the key card
  So usually loaded at the top of the screen.

  There is also usually a TouchPad control utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock
  at the bottom right.

  Toshiba support - click Communcate for links to the Forums and Contact Toshiba.
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  Toshiba downloads - access your model.
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

  Toshiba forums - good source of info from others who have the same system or similar
  http://laptopforums.Toshiba.com/

  Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there probably
  are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

  Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.

  You can also try this:

  Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
  The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
  (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

  Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
  RESET

  This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
  of work.

  Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
  device if present.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

  Then go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Toshiba downloads - access your model - listed above)
  and get the latest touchpad drivers.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

  I hope this helps.
