Guest What4 Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Have been running Vista Home Basic since Mar 07, with updates on download and notify, all up to date, have just checked. Today noticed no icon for Defender in Quick Launch Toolbar, looked to change display view, no icon to select in list. Checked security centre, Defender not running. Used Start, All programmes to start defender. Opened Options, checked for Admin authority and all users, both ticked. Unticked the admin user, selected save change, then reversed the process to add tick, and saved, Defender icon appeared, and almost immediately started scanning system. Whats up doc?? I now suspect Defender hasn't run for a couple of days but not sure. Also, why no notification from Security centre? All the other ticks seem to be in place on the options screen, so just a little concerned about my security status. -- W4 me Quote

Guest hawkwind Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Hi, i noticed my icon was not there at startup 3 days ago. Windows security centre says that WD is running normally and the checkbox is ticked to place WD in the notification area. If i make a change to my system WD does not notify me. It does start up ok however from the start/programs list and msascui.exe loads into the task manager. It is also set to start automatically in services. vista home premium 32 not running live care. Thanks -- hawkwind Quote
Guest Bob Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed? There are some that cause problems which do not appear immediately. ------- Report back, please [When responding to posts, please include the post(s) you are replying to so that others may learn and benefit from the issue] [How to ask a question] http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "hawkwind" <hawkwind.36u8a1@no-mx.forums.net> wrote in message news:hawkwind.36u8a1@no-mx.forums.net...<span style="color:blue"> > > Hi, i noticed my icon was not there at startup 3 days ago. > Windows security centre says that WD is running normally and the > checkbox is ticked to place WD in the notification area. > If i make a change to my system WD does not notify me. > It does start up ok however from the start/programs list and > msascui.exe loads into the task manager. > > It is also set to start automatically in services. > vista home premium 32 not running live care. > > Thanks > > > -- > hawkwind </span> Quote

However, i have just looked at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and windows defender value data pointed to %ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe -hide I changed it to C:\ProgramFiles\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe -hide And WD is working fine now ?????? -- hawkwind Quote
Guest What4 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Bob, Using Avast AV, Windows firewall, and have also installed Ad Aware, but run this on an ad hoc user request basis. Prior to Avast, I used AVG, and prior to that Norton. Have removed Norton using their tool from Symantec website, and AVG also gone. -- W4 me "Bob" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed?
