Defender Blocked Start Up Programs
Mar 23, 2008
One program is blocked. I have not been able to locate it in any start up folder, but it still shows up in Software Explorer's "StartUp Programs", with a "Not Yet Classified"Classification. When I try to "Disable" the program from Software Explorer, it grays out the Disable Button. Alternatively I have added the program to Advanced Options "Do not Scan...". No effect. I would prefer not to uninstall the program, but Defender's constant flagging is annoying.

Vista always says "Windows has blocked some start-up programs" when I reboot. So What! It doesn't offer a way to turn them off. How can I get rid of these bad programs, and why are they there? My Avast anti-virus and Ad Aware say I'm clean.

I am the only user on my laptop. I accepted the Toshiba settings when I bought the machine, but I realise that there are a number of features that are disabled that (as an administrator) I should be able to use. for example:
1. Windows Defender will show me the details of start-up programs but not allow me to remove/enable/disable anything (the buttons are greyed-out/disabled).
2. There are some folders (e.g. in my internet favourites) which are read-only and when I switch read-only off, it ignores what I've done - they remain read-only.

Windows defender alerts me when it blocks one of my start-up programs. Trouble is, it keeps alerting me throughout the day. I want to turn the alerts off. In Defender-Tools-Default Actions, I have set High Alert, Medium Alert and Low Alert all to Ignore. But it still alerts me.

Defender alerts me that it is blocking some start-up programs (little yellow speech-bubble in sys-tray says "Click here to see which programs are being blocked"). When I click the alert it opens Defender, but there is no indication of which program has been blocked. How can I find out?

I live at a college where I'm the administrator on our computer in the common room. The computer is only meant to play music when we have parties and such, so I have made a normal account, besides the administrator account, that people can use. I have blocked all programs except the music program. I wondered if it is possible to block the Realtek program in a way so people can't use it/screw the settings up but so it will still be able to run at startup?

I have used System Configuration, Startup to NOT start some programs including:
OmniPage Pro
iTunes
QuickTime
How do I prevent the message that pops up several times when I start/restart Windows Vista? Even once would be enough....

I have disabled some start up programs I do not want to sart up in Vista. I keep getting this annoying message reminding me of this when Windows start and when it is open. In XP there was a check box to keep this from showing, how do I turn this off in Vista.
Also I sometimes get files by e-mail such as Access programs that I am working on for a customer. Windows Vista will not let me open these. Message: This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open this file due to potential security problems. To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible network location. I copied it to my D partition but still Vista will not let me open it. I had to copy it to my zip drive and then open it on my XP computer.

I have installed BOINC client and Vista blocks it after logon, so I wanted to enable it, but why the hell should I do it? :o It shows as "not yet classified", but the only active buttons are remove and disable! Meanwhile it scans, so shall I wait until it scans whole drive and then it will be active or what should I do to permanently enable this?

Right after startup known good programs want to lauch but they are blocked. I was advised to disable DEFENDER - done to no avail. Windows Vista itself is blocking the programs. I click the taskbar icon and select view blocked programs but have no access to ENABLE them.

We're on a network and all the pcs only have one user and therefore I am administrator of all. One pc now won't let me access stuff. When I try and go into Windows defender or Manage windows start up programs, a window comes up saying "contact Administrator". ?? Can't access folder options either. There's a virus on it (darn kids) which I'm trying to get rid of (despite having McAfee, Windows defender, Ad-Aware and Stinger). Could it be the virus causing this? which is hard of course to get rid of if I can't have any access to security files.

I do not want to see any of the programs at the top of the list of All Programs (especially Internet Explorer). I just want to see the program folders listed, preferably sorted by newest or most recently modified first, by alphabetically would be OK. How to get rid of the 8 programs shown in here? Thanks.

My granddaughter's laptop got the eco (green) antivirus extortionware, and I manually removed it. It somehow removed the core files from Defender, and now it won't start or run. Suggestions? (besides a format please)

I have just got myself a new computer and everything is working fine, except I cannot get Windows Defender to open. No matter what I try I get a message saying that the service has been prevented from starting and that I should start it manually. Can someone out there please tell me how I might do this?

I'm running windows Vista Ultimate but have a couple of issues. First one is that I can't start defender at all, I can't update it because windows says it's already part of vista and I can't figure out how to uninstall it. The error message is 0x800106ba. Second issue is that I can't change the windows update settings, I have administrator rights but can't figure out how to change it, the options are greyed out.

My OS is Windows Vista Business and I am attempting to disable the auto startup of a program. I located the program in Windows Defender, Category: Startup Programs but all options to "Remove, Disable and Enable" are grayed out. I also noticed the majority though not all auto startup programs in the Startup Category are grayed out. Why is this? What other course of action may I take to disable the unneeded auto startup of unnecessary programs? Also, my inquiry pertains specifically to an HP Digital Camera software.

I just installed Vista Ultimate on my PC then after loading all of the drivers and Kaspersky AV everything was working well so I installed SP1. Now none of the programs will load up, I can go to Programs/Windows Update but it does not load. I right click on Computer and select Properties but nothing happens.

When I try to run some programs I get an error message that look something like this. (Translated from Norwegian). "Cannot find P:pathprogram.exe Check your spelling and try again". This started a couple of days ago. And it only happens on some programs and not on others, When I log in as the superadministrator I have now problems at all.

I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bits installed on my computer. Along with installing this, I also installed tons of drivers etc. however I do not need all of them at the start of every boot. So I wanted to delete them from the startup list, but this is not possible. When I go to Windows Defender > Launch programs, and click on the programs I want to disable from launching along with Windows, the options to Delete or Disable go grey.

From the "Start" menu in XP, I was able to arrange programs into hierarchical groups, and add programs to the "Startup" folder (programs that launch at startup), All these tasks were done using Windows Explorer in "Documents and Settings"

I have a problem accessing some programs in my start menu. I use Windows Vista Home Premium. Some programs are accessible (such as iTunes) and some are not (such as Nero ShowTime). When I compare the properties of the Start Menu links for the accessible and the nonaccessible programs, I notice differences: In the Properties windows of the nonaccessible programs, there is no "Compatibility" tab and the "Target field" is grayed out, as are the "Open File Location" and "Change Icon" buttons. I don't get an error message when I click on the non-accessible links, I just get nothing. btw, I can access the programs from the Quick Launch bar or from Windows Explorer, but that is a hassle.

I recently had to reinstall Vista Windows and had to copy some of my program files across from the 'Old Windows' program file to the new Windows program file and they are now not all showing in the Start - All Programs menu or in the Programs and Features 'Uninstall or Change a program' list. How can I get all my programs into these two locations?
