    Windows could not start Windows Defender


    Hi,I have troubles with starting Windows Defender / Security Service AND Windows Firewall.I tried everything that I found online,1. The BFE is running, but I can't stop it.2. The Windows Defender / Security Service is not running, they start automatically, however the button to start/stop/restart them are greyed out.3. The Windows Firewall is also not running, but i can press Start. However it says it can't start, and the status is on "Starting" instead of "Running".4. sfc/ scannow result in "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."5. I tried Windows Firewall Trouble

    :)

    Windows Defender Released

    Microsoft has released the final version of its Windows Defender anti-spyware utility. Windows Defender is a product of the Microsoft acquisition of GIANT Software. Previously known as Windows AntiSpyware, after a two years beta period it's now available for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 under the name Windows Defender. Windows Defender incorporates Real-Time Protection to monitor systems for spyware activity, automated spyware removal with scheduled scans, full integration with Internet Explorer 7.0 and automatic spyware definition updates from Microsoft. Windows Defender is available freely to all customers running a genuine copy of Windows. Microsoft has also announced that customers will each be allowed to report two support incidents for free with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

    SEtting up automatic updates for windows defender on windows 8

    I have found this on the internet en have set up a task for automatic definitions update for Windows Defender but a window pops up when this starts to run.
    Is there a way to set this without any window popping up so that it just runs in the background?

    Now I'm using
    "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -SignatureUpdate -MMPC

    I'm currrently using it as described here:
