    Windows Defender has a red X and says service has stopped, please help

    I am on Windows 8, and control panel security says Windows Defender is my anti virus and firewall.

    i cant start windows defender after a virus on my pc error 0x800700aa

    Seems you did not in fact get everything out. *Sad Apparently there's a process left that's disabling Defender when you restart. What did you use to try and get rid of the virus?

    My first step would be to run Rkill. That will stop known malicious services then, without restarting, immediately run AdwCleaner.

    I think either windows defender has a bug or a virus is in my pc

    Guide: Virus Removal 101

    Most of the times someone has windows 8.1 or 10, I tell them that an AV is not important, if they have low end machines (which they mostly do), as windows defender is quite good. On windows 7, microsoft essentials is really bad, so I suggest either AVG or Avast. Do you agree with my opinion/suggestion?
