I am having the same issues listed. windows security red alert icon is
present each time I start my computer. Just until recently defender has been
working fine- in the security center it says that Malware protection/virus
protection is not located on my computer. Then it says that Defender is off.
I try to turn on but comes back with message that says that there are no new
definitions avail to download to defender.
I need help...
