Yesterday I get a message saying windows defender was turned off. So I
clicked turn on and open. Once it opened and turned on, it was fine, for a
while. Then it turned off again. It happend at least 3 more times. Today when
I turned on my computer, Windows Defender was turned off.

I DO NOT HAVE WINDOWS ONECARE INSTALLED. NEVER HAD IT.

Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1592.0
Engine Version: 1.1.2101.0
Definition Version: 1.15.2233.6
 
Hello Annonymous,

You can repair Windows Defender.
First exit WD, click the down arrow to the right of the white question mark
in blue circle and then click Exit Windows Defender; using Add or Remove
Programs in Control Panel.
Click WD and click Change.
Click Next, and then click Updªte.

If you still have the same message, try this:
First exit WD, click the down arrow to the right of the white question mark
in blue circle and then click Exit Windows Defender; using Add or Remove
Programs in Control Panel.
Click WD and click Support Information and click Repair.

Reboot.
Let us know how it works ºut

....And remember upgrading from 1.1.1592.0 to 1.1.1593.0 requires that you
un-install the prior version first which means you'll loose any
options/excludes you've set in 1592. (also re-check SpyNet membership
level after the upgrade)
 
Thanks for your help

I also have started getting this message. I have a laptop that has Vista and
Windows Defender already installed on it. Defender is only version 1.1.1505.0
so I was going to put a newer version on but when I go to the control panel
to remove the program it is not showing in the list. Can anyone tell me why
this would be?
