Support For Windows Vista

Q: When running Vista Ultimate, I go to Windows Defender to find that it is turned off. I turn it on, use the program and then when I return a few days later it is turned off again. Why is this happening? Is there another program that is turning it off?

A: I have heard of Windows Live One Care having the effect on Windows Defender (WLOC). If you have WLOC installed on your system, then you really don't need to run Windows Defender. I would recommend disabling the Windows Defender Service. Here's how:

  1. Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard.
  2. In the Run Command, type in: services.msc [Enter]
  3. Scroll the list alphabetically to find Windows Defender
  4. Right click Windows Defender
  5. Select Properties
  6. Open the drop down list next to Startup Type, select Disable.
