windows defender won't start

[Guest steve oates]

I've installed windows defender, but the service won't start up. I get

get the error message :-

 

"The Windows Defender service terminated with the following error:

The signature of the certificate can not be verified."

 

I noticed that when I ran the msi file it complained about the

certificate saying that the manufacturer was unknown?, but I got it from

the Microsoft website. Anyone know how to fix it?

Microsoft has established separate newsgroups for Windows Defender support
