| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: windows defender Hello Brandon, and welcome to Vista Forums. You cannot uninstall, delete, or reinstall Windows Defender in Vista since it is a part of Vista itself. You can turn it off and on though. Could you please explain more about exactly what you deleted to help you restore it? Shawn |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: windows defender Brandon, Does Windows Defender open when you click on C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe ? If yes, then check with Method Two in this tutorial to see if Windows Defender (step 8D) was set to be hidden in the Control Panel. Control Panel - Hide Icon This is usually caused by malware. I would recommend that you run a thorough antivirus and spyware scan to help be safe. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| VISTA HOME PREMIUM X64/ 7 x64 / 7x86 | Re: windows defender Hi, How did you delete it, exactly.? Did you right click the folder and delete - pretty sure you would need to take ownership to do that. SIW2 |

| VISTA HOME PREMIUM X64/ 7 x64 / 7x86 | Re: windows defender Hi brandon, Yes, I saw that - but when you said you deleted it - thought maybe you meant you had done so as it wasn't working. Seems to have deleted itself? Probably worth doing a full scan if you have another anti - malware tool. Worth trying a system restore to before this happened System Restore - How to If that doesn't work, you might use a file recovery tool to see if it finds anything on your hd. If you don't already have one, you can get a good freebie from www.glarysoft.com Better to download and install it on a separate partition - so as not to overwrite anything. |
