 Windows Defender & Vista I continue to have a problem with Defender on my computer. Have auto scans set for daily and even if I manually scan, within 30 minutes I get the yellow exclamation mark that it has been 'blank' days since I scanned and need to do so!! Any suggestions out there. Never had this problem with XP. Dave | Guest

| Re: Windows Defender & Vista What type of scan is WD performing [quick, full, custom] ? Is it set to autoscan ? What other anti-malware software is installed ? MowGreen [MVP 2003-2008] =============== *-343-* FDNY Never Forgotten =============== Dave wrote: Quote:

| Re: Windows Defender & Vista I have it set to do a quick scan each day and I do a full scan weekly (1 hr almost worth). Have Norton AV08 with its malware, etc. "MowGreen [MVP]" wrote: Quote:

| Re: Windows Defender & Vista helping in the wd newsgroup, we had a user with a similar problem and it turned out WD just doesn't play nice with Norton AV suite robin "Dave" <Dave@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:BF8A7A73-D3DE-403F-88E4-038AC4ED3284@microsoft.com... Quote:

| Re: Windows Defender & Vista Thanks...worked well when I had my old computer with XP, so maybe Vista maybe not. Never gave much credit to WD anyway... "Robinb" wrote: Quote:

| Re: Windows Defender & Vista Precisely why I'd asked which other anti-malware software was installed, Dave. In fact, I'll ask that first from now on <w> MowGreen [MVP 2003-2008] =============== *-343-* FDNY Never Forgotten =============== Dave wrote: Quote:
