I use vista basic, I've recently had my computer took right back to factory settings as I've been havingso many problems with my lap top, then the registry was sorted out, I know I've not got any virus on the lap top, each time my computer is turned on, I'm told that defender is switched off and I've got to turn it on, I've even tried to start scanning, to see if that would stop it, but it still happens, has any one any idea what is causing this, as I'm getting pretty cheesed off with this, :mad::sa: j62

If you are using (MSE) Microsoft Security Essentials. Defender is turned off by default, because it is no longer needed.

You do not really need defender if you have MSE. If it turns Defender off don't worry about it. You should actually turn it off your self. Read this answer from Microsoft.


Microsoft Security Essentials turns off Windows Defender
