RE: windows defender

Do you use Windows Defender? If so, open the security center and turn it
back on.

Have you added any third party security software, such as a security
suite? Some programs, including Windows Live One Care, will disable Windows
Defender.
If not, simply turn it back on. You can then go into Tools, Options and
make sure it is set to run at startup. You can also go into Tools, Software
Explorer and make sure it is not disabled.

Hi CB..thanks!
But..I'd already tried to turn it back on, but when I do it windows tell me
it can't be activated at that moment and tell me to try againg later...then I
have to click on hiperlink of windows defender on the left panel of the
security central and then windows defender window opens up and windows
defender turns automatically on suddenly..hehee
