Windows Defender keeps turnign off with out warning. How do I set it so it
stays on?

I haven't a clue as to what WLOC 1.5 is. So, I'm guessing I don't have it.

OK. I finally figured out what WLOC is. Yes, I have both WLOC and Defender
installed.

I'm not sure this will help as I have Windows XP and this talks about Vista.

OK. Then if you intend to stay with or have already made a paid subscription
to One Care, then you should uninstall Defender. You cannot run them both
together because One Care has its own antispyware technology built in.

Thank you Stu. Now I know. Wonder why they don't tell us that when installing?

This is what happens:
1.Windows Vista has Defender integrated and is impossible to remove.
2.If with Vista you use Windows Live OneCare, Defender will always be
disabled or Stopped, because WLOC does its work. You can check this accessing
Services.
3.If you want to update Defender, first Start it in the Services and use the
About for update. Remember that if you use WLOC, it will disable Defender in
the next restart.
4.If you use XP without WLOC, you can install, remove, reinstall, and update
Defender as you wish.
5.If you use XP with Defender version 1.5 and above, and WLOC at the same
time, the Defender will be disabled by WLOC. So, that is why, if you use XP
and WLOC 1.5, remove Defender.
6.Remember that Defender version 1.5 is the one specifically designed for
Vista, and behaves the same in both XP and Vista.

This is all I know on the subject.
