| Guest | RE: windows defender, it will not run Is there any better solution? Re-installing Vista doesn't sound too thrilling, and I'm afraid that if I do a system restore that far back (I don't know exactly when this issue started, but I am guessing as far back as when I upgraded to Vista in May), I could be losing important files...no?

| Guest | Re: windows defender, it will not run Yes, there's a better solution other than re-installing Vista. Click on the control panel > accessories> run...In the run window, type *services.msc* click OK. Scroll down to Windows Defender..right click on it and select properties. Set it to "Disabled". There's no sense in fighting with this application that refuses to work and only causes a headache! Now use these free antispyware programs that work with Vista...please read the tutorials and look for updates often as they do not update themselves: Spybot S&D download and tutorial: 'Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware from Your Computer' (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/foru...howtutorial=43) 'The home of Spybot-S&D!' (http://www.safer-networking.org/) SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard: 'Javacool Software - Products' (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/products.html) Spyware Guard is a real-time malware scanner SpywareBlaster tutorial: 'Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware, Hijackers, and Malware' (http://tinyurl.com/7mqet) SpywareGuard tutorial: 'Using SpywareGuard to protect your computer from Spyware & Hijackers' (http://tinyurl.com/27uh5c) You can also get the free version of SuperAntispyware. The free version doesn't work with realtime protection, but you can continue to update the definitions and scan for incidences on your own: 'SUPERAntiSpyware Home Edition (free version)' (http://tinyurl.com/klkcy) Install it and double-click the icon on your desktop to run it. It will ask if you want to update the program definitions, click *Yes*. -- Jacee *MS-MVP Windows-Security 2006 & 2007* Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
