  2. How to turn on windows defender after upgrading to windows 10

    This is the oldest computer and I think it was first used in 2013. I no longer remember what removal tools were or were not used. Today, on this computer I ran numerous removal tools from this link:

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/wiki/mse-protect_start/list-of-anti-malware-product-removal-tools/2bcb53f7-7ab4-4ef9-ab3a-6aebfa322f75


    After the upgrade the Defender software was unable to be used. It would not turn on. Removing spybot allowed it to be turned on. This appeared to be a causal/effect relationship as I tried numerous methods to get defender to function. The last step and
    only step that worked was the uninstallation of spybot. I think if the upgrade from 8.1 to 10 was done properly it should have been done after spybot uninstallation. But the partner.support.servies.Microsoft in the Philippines chose to perform the 8.1 to
    10 upgrade without uninstalling spybot.

  3. Spybot uninstalled from my PC

    Concerning this spybot issue with windows defender, the only problem I have had is the other way round, spybot turns windows defender off, there is no way to turn it back on even going to services, the way I did it was to go to services turn spybot to off
    then change it to manual not automatic, once I did that windows defender turned itself back on automatically. seems to me that spybot is the problem or perhaps a conflict between two similar programmes that monitor same issues.
