Turn Off Alerts: Windows Defender Alerts Me When It Blocks One Of My Start-up Programs
Mar 23, 2008Windows 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.

May 6, 2008I was wondering...can you have something like Windows Defender running, as well as Spybot and a anti-spyware program that's part of an internet security suite, all at the same time? Would they conflict with each other like anti-virus programs? Or do they work in harmony with one catching spyware the other's don't?

Mar 23, 2008I 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.
Start Up Graphics Glitch 4850: The Login Screen I Receive Small Blocks Of Colour That Do Not Match The Screens Intended Picture
Feb 14, 2009Error on startup. After a period of time. Having scoured several topics in relation to this issue, I am still none the wiser and like many pledging for some guidance, I thought it best to post here. Some quick Background Info;
I made this computer using my old Powersupply ( Jeantech 500W) and Harddrive. I had previously used the graphics card in my old setup and had no issues. This was XP, different motherboard, processor etc. I formatted the Harddrive and installed Windows 64bit and installed all the new parts. Drivers are all up to date except the motherboard. (Of which the CD couldn't be detected)
When I turn on my computer, at the login screen I receive small blocks of colour that do not match the screens intended picture. On the log in screen this is normally minimal, but on my main desktop this will nearly cover the screen intermitantly. Sounds bad? But it will either fix itself in time with the "Windows has recovered the driver Atiamtag" Or, I pop open the Chess program and on load up this clears the issue..........
Windows Defender Spyware: Open Internet Explorer, The Windows Defender Pops Up And Says That My IE Is Infected?
Feb 11, 2010The computer has worked fine since then, I've used the internet at wi-fi hotspots around my city, with never a single problem...until last night. While I was on-line at home, I was checking a website that I have always checked before without issue when my Windows Defender suddenly popped open and said that my computer was under threat and blocked Internet Explorer from me and started running a diagnosic. Well apparently it said that I had like 26 infections in my computer. That I had worms, spyware, adware, that someone was watching my key logs, etc, etc, and it gave me the option to click on the remove all. So I clicked on it, but instead of doing anything, another message box appeared saying that my Windows Defender is not the full version and that I must either purchase the full version or enter my key code for it. I don't have a key code since I never bought this program, was pre-installed.
Anyways, now whenever I try to open Internet Explorer, the Windows Defender pops up and says that my IE is infected and asks if I would like to purchase the full Windows Defender. I have clicked on both options. If I say "no", the computer blocks my IE, if I say yes, it opens my IE, but instead of taking me to a Windows website, it takes me to www.antivirus-care.com, which my browser says does not exist and instead takes me to another page with a listing of anti-virus program sites to buy from. Well, all this seems fishy to me because I can't do anything with the Windows Defender program. I can't turn it off, I can't change its settings, or even look at other options it has. Instead whenever I try the message window of "would I like to buy the full version now?" appears and keeps appearing.
Windows Defender Or Manage Windows Start Up Programs Window Comes Up Saying "contact Administrator" Administrator
May 20, 2010We'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.

Defender Blocked Start Up Programs
Mar 23, 2008One 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.

Feb 28, 2009this is an old issue some ppl have had, unfortunately none of the answers received have helped me with my current issue...i upgraded my PC, and with that i went from Vista 32bit to Vista 64bit, and re-installed all the old games i had on my old machine onto the new one. i installed the main game for Sims2 (no expansions installed yet) and tried to run it and nothing happens. i ran it in compatibilty mode and nothing happens. i ran it in both comp. mode and as admin and nothing happens. i had no problem playing it on my old machine, and this one is 100x better, but Sims simply wont start. every other game i tried, from GTA to Crisis to CoH to AoC works fine, only Sims wont even start. i tried the patch at the Sims site and it says my Sims game is up to date. i cant believe that going from 32bit to 64bit would make such a difference.

Dec 20, 2008I am using the 2008 free version of Adaware. (My computer has Vista) I did a full scan and after 13 seconds found over 5000 infections. I right clicked and selected the entire list to delete. A window came up that asked me to confirm I wanted to delete the files. I selected delete, but the window still showed the same number infections. It recommended a second scan, but the program crashed when I hit scan. I have restarted my computer several times, repeating the process, but I get the same results every time. I'd really appreciate help on this because this is an abnormally high amount of infections (most of them being malware).

View 4 Replies View RelatedReinstall IE7 To Remove Adware?
Mar 23, 2008My daughter managed to download some malware onto her computer (she doesn't know how she did it). The various anti-virus, firewall, and anti-malware (including Defender, Spybot, ZoneAlarm Pro and AdAware) do not catch this malware. The malware opens Internet Explorer windows with ads. Investigating the computer with Sypbot and others, the malware seems to be "1 mags 16 more" and "BEND BOLT". I've disabled these programs with Spybot, but of course have no way to uninstall these programs.
Unfortunately, a side-effect is that this has prevented IE from running at all. When attempting to start IE7, nothing happens (no error message; it just doesn't start). Would it help to uninstall IE7 and then reinstall it from scratch? If so, how do I go about it (and where do I find the IE7 download -- I don't seem to be able to find it on the Microsoft website)? I'd like to avoid a full hard drive reformat, if possible.

May 1, 2009Running Windows XP my cousin ended up with an infestation of spyware and adware after AVG ran out and it stopped updating.I installed AVG 8.5 ran a scan, it disinfected winlogon.exe and then blue screened. After a reboot and another scan winlogon.exe was no longer infected but other files were. It seems to have disinfected them. The only thing left is a popup that comes up everytime IE is started. I can't figure out what is causing it. I ran ad aware - it disposed of a few things but he still gets that popup when IE starts.

Nov 22, 2007I have been using Vista Ultimate x64 for the last 5 months and have to say it's been a massive learing curve due to its fragility - 4 full rebuilds in the last 4 months - and not much fun when using SATA RAID. Anyway, got up yesterday morning, turned on the computer and it had managed to corrupt itself yet again: Windows Defender, Windows Picture Viewer and a host of desktop icons refused to find their pathways home and so decided against a full rebuild and started the repair option with a boot to the DVD. I set this off running and went to work at 12:30pm...
I came back 5 hours later and still had the dialog box " Finalising Registry" running on my screen! Well, a quick restart and i tried the upgrade option once back in Vista from the DVD. This then took and unbelievable 7 hours to complete and was finally ready - after updates - at 01:20am this morning, but a full clean install would have taken about 1-2 hours to finish, so i'll be doing that in future!.........

I just can't do anything because I can't see anything. It's not black, but has tons of blocks all over it. I was thinking it was my graphics card taking a dive, but I can get OSX86/Ubuntu with Desktop effects to run fine. So, I am at a loss, as both the other systems require graphics acceleration. It's just Vista that doesn't want to work.
