Is it OK to run defender and do a backup at the same time? And should I use my maxtor hard drive to do it, even though I used it on a previous computer, is it risky or anything?
View 4 RepliesAlthough originally working, now W7 backup will not work.I am running 32bit UltimateI have emptied the backup drive,started a whole new backup - the back up starts ..uns to about 80% of progress bar ... then fails with message Backup failed to omplete.The error code is ox81000015This says that Windows could not zip a file... and to remove any of 3 listed programs ... none of which I have installed.To be safe I also removed 7zip (even though not listed) another 2 Hr attempt and again fails
View 7 Replies View RelatedI decided to try out the backup feature. Over 2 hours ago I started the backup and it is only 32% complete. This seems like a long time to me. I created a disk image of the same data earlier today and it was done in considerably less than 2 hours.
Additional details: Around 160 GB of data. Data is uncompressed.
any complete system backup software for win7 that works similar to the MAC time machine? I am looking for something that will back up every thing even software installed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have standalone windows xp Machines that are in standby during the night and standalone windows 7 machines that are in sleep during the night. I am wondering what is the best way to get them to wake up so that my backup program can run a scheduled backup job at like 2am?
I have tried just setting the scheduled backup in my program (Cobain Backup), but it doesn't seem to work very often, and I think that the machines are just not waking up. Is there some sort of scheduled task that I can create or something in XP or 7 to make it wake up at a certain time automatically?

I tried downloading it again with the wizard but it said it said the wizard was interrupted and try again when I do it does the same thing. i tried downloading it from the Windows site and after downloading the pop up said "You do not need to install this software because Windows Defender is included in Windows Vista (I have Windows 7) You can access Windows Defender from the security section of the Windows Control Panel". Again, I tried this but when I click on the words "turn Defender on" it just keeps going on and on without doing anything.

It said something about tools - options etc, but the only place I would find Windows Defender was in the program files and nothing about tools etc. Noting in system tray either.

View 0 Replies View RelatedWindows Defender. This program is turned off. If you are using another program that checks for harmful or unwanted software use the Action Center to check that program's status. If you would like to use this program click here to turn it on.I've tried so many things I'm running out of patience. There seems to be nothing in Action Center that is relevant and I can't uninstall Defender as there's no option so I went to Services and disabled it. Still I get the message. I've tried a Command Prompt that should have disabled it, but no luck. I went to the AVG forum which is definitely not user friendly. I rang the free phone number only to find that a) I couldn't hear the operator and she couldn't hear me and b) it's only the phone call that's free - the service isn't.

View 4 Replies View Relatedrestoring Windows Firewall and Defender. I am running Windows 7 64 Bit. A few weeks ago I was infected by a trojan called "System Progressive protection". I used an uninstall guide for removal but I am unable to enable Windows Firewall and Defender. I get Error 0x800070424 whenever I try to open either Windows Firewall and Defender.
I am currently using anti-virus software provided by my internet service provider, but I would still like the option of having Windows Firewall and Defender available to me.
I am using Windows 7 on my desktop and laptop.At the end of each week I run Malwarebytes and Superantispyware.I can no longer open Windows Defender unless it has an icon with a castle and blue flag? Microsoft security essentials is running and it says Real time protection on Virus and spyware definitions up to date.Is that enough protection or should I be running another anti virus program?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows 7, 64bit with 12 GB of RAM. My memory usage is usually around 2-3 GB. About once a day, Windows Defender eats all my memory. For a few minutes the computer is slow (even if running i7-980) then Defender releases the memory and everything is back to normal. I know it's Windows Defender because as soon as I see memory going high, if I stop the Windows Defender service, the memory goes right back to normal.
Is there anything I can do except disabling the service?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWin 7 professional 64 SP1 all patches applied till today. Some days ago I got a Definitions Update, like many others before. But this time it failed to apply with an numeric code. Since I don't have MS Security Essentials (never installed it for what I can recall) and just have free Avira, Spyware Blaster and Malware Bytes, it should not be disabled or something. After reading a number of posts on the MS forums I tried manually starting the defender service, which failed with error 126 (could not find its mpsvc.dll DLL).
I noticed the required DLL, along with a couple others, was in Program Files, while the registry entry for it was set to %ProgramFiles (86)%\Windows Defender\mpsvc.dll. Not willing to fiddle with the registry, I just applied a .reg fix others on the MS support forums found useful to fix this issue with. But it did not help. The definitions update indeed worked but now the defender service won't start at all and shows as disabled (trying to start it does nothing, no error, no Windows logs in events viewer.

Downloaded the Windows Defender Offline and ran it successfully, but now I can not get past the "Verifying DMI pool data....".I've read countless posts about doing F8 or F10 to go into Advanced Boot Options, but neither of those respond. So I can not change the /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN.Only things I can go into are the Boot Menu (F12) and BIOS Setup (Del). I've tried every possible combo of Alt+F10, Ctrl+F8, etc. to no avail. Hitting (ESC) to go into Safe Mode option does not work either. Nor vigorously tapping of F8 or F10.

I messed around with Windows Defender some time ago and now its screwed I think.I have Windows 7 Home Basic, Windows Defender came with it.When I first installed Windows 7 there was always a process in Task Manager for Windows Defender "MsMpEng.exe" and maybe another one.Windows Defender is running properly if I check it in Control Panel but it is not appearing in Task Manager > Processes.services.msc > It is set to Automatic (Delayed Start) which I think is correct.How can I get the processes back running in Task Manager > Processes?
