mistaken there is no notification when an app wants to access the internet as in, for example, ZoneAlarm. Enable real time protection in Windows Defender and it should become a startup program. Go to control panel/windows defender/options and check real time protection. | Guest

| Since I posted question on how to reinstall Windows Defender and reading all the problems that are associated with it, I am now glad it is disabled. I have Norton Internet Security on Windows Vista Home Premium and as soon as Windows Defender was disabled , I recieved two pop ups for Norton taking over the responsibilities of Windows Defender. Since then I have not had any of the problems associated with Windows Defender running out of control on my system. | Guest

that Vista was preinstalled on your laptop. Is it possible that some other security suite was also installed that disables Defender and prevents it from running? Several of the major anti-malware companies do their best to prevent any Microsoft security software from running (and discredit what they can't stop). If people realize they do not need expensive third-party security suites it obviously cuts into their bottom lines. That is why many people on this newsgroup recommend AVG anti-virus, which does not interfere with the built-in security in Windows. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 | Guest

| Hi Al, the next time that you get the message, on the Action menu in the message dialog box you should be able to allow the software by selecting Always Allow. For more information, see Add or remove items from the Windows Defender allowed list.

| I was advised to remove Windows defender so that my firewall would work. I did this and my firewall still did not work. I am now trying to reinstall windows defender but I get a message telling me I do not need to as it comes with Vista. I am now stuck as I do not have it and can not get it back on my system.

| Any firewall that would require you to remove Windows Defender to work would be broken by definition. Furthermore, you do not need a third-party firewall on Vista. You cannot install Windows Defender for the reason stated, nor can you remove it. I would suggest you contact the vendor of the firewall software and ask them how they suggest you fix your computer. More than likely it will require a reformat and reinstall, after which I would suggest not trying to use that same firewall again. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "Jon" wrote: Quote:
