Apparently I am missing something here - I have already done the Tools, Opt's., Admin. op's., Defndr. check box, Save, confirm steps. But when I "Run" Windows Security Center the Malware protection shows green & on for The Shield Deluxe 2009 antivirus but on the Spyware and other malware protection shows green & on only for The Shield Deluxe 2009. I have to select the link for showing all malware installed on comp. & when the window pops up I have to highlight Windows Defender & choose turn on option manually everytime. So I must be missing something else, not have something on or have it turned off someplace else. I am at a loss - I can keep doing the manual turn on each time but know there is a better option. Besides until just a couple days ago I didn't have to go through this, it was automatically on. I may have done something inadvertently & not realized it but don't know what. It is heck being so inept w/ comp's and the Internet. What I need is a tutor to sit by me, teach me & slap me when needed. Hope you all can bear w/ me!
