Howdy - how can I put an icon for Defender in my system tray ???
I actually forgot that I have this program until I happened to be browsing
through my programs from the start menu !
If there was an icon on the system tray , it would remind me to check
Defender :)
My OS is XP if there is a way to produce an icon for Defender.
Y'all have a great day !
 
1) go to Help, About, in Windows defender. If the top version number is not
1.1.1347, revisit the download center and download the newest version--run
it, it will upgrade.

Once that's done, go to Tools, Options, scroll down, and you'll find an
option setting for icon display.

Remember to re-select advanced Spynet membership, if desired, as well.
 
Howdy again - I downloaded the newer version and the icon is now in my sys
tray but .... I now have two Defender programs. The new one has a (2) next to
it.
Should I delete the first Defender and if so , how ??
Thanks !
 
Is this in the start menu?

First--try clicking on the old one--the one without the two. See if that
starts Windows Defender. If it does, I'd right click the one with the 2 in
it and choose delete.

Thank you for this hint. It worked for me too after I upgraded to version
1.1.1347. One question: why was the upgrade not made automatically (I found
out that I was using version 1.1.1051 ...).
Regards,
Paul.
 
Reading other messages, I see you are in good shape. I believe that a
message to alert 1051 users about the newer code will eventually appear. I
have some installs I am leaving that way just to see how this works. The
actual bugfixes between 1051 and 1347 are relatively few--and we can tell
folks about the new download when they mention an issue that is changed--as
you did.

Until last week or so, there was a significant issue with definition updates
failing, which was taking substantial energy. there's every evidence that
is solved now, so perhaps other changes will go forward.

Hi Bill,

starting for you. ;)

LOL! - I suspect that won't happen 'til after it is released, fortunately or
unfortunately...
