    Windows defender not working after downloading malwarebytes


    A couple months back I download malwarebytes, after the free trial ended I supposed I didn't need it anymore, so I deleted it completely, now windows defender wont turn back on. "the threat service has stopped, restart it now" I clicked that and it kept loading then came up with a error.I've tried pretty much everything like going into registry editor and services.msc and that didn't work, nothing is working, is there any thing else I could do or a at least try?

    :)

    Defender disabled by Malwarebytes?

    [Merged]

    Windows 10 accepts Malwarebytes as complete antivirus, and will not allow full Defender to work.

    Yet, according to many searches Malwarebytes is not considered to be a complete antivirus.

    I had to remove Malwarebytes from my laptop to get Defender to work fully.

    Any suggestions about how to use complete Defender while running Malwarebytes

    Moved from Windows 10

  3. Malwarebytes not detected by Windows Defender

    I have Malwarebytes installed but windows defender doesn't detect it and go into Periodic Scanning like it always has done, It just stays like it normally is, Like Above Current Threats its Suppose to List Malwarebytes but its just blank, With Malwarebytes I have the Windows Security Center Register option on but nothing Happens.

    Defender disabled by Malwarebytes?

    Recently there were various changes regarding Malwarebytes...

    Suggestion to read

    https://www.malwarebytes.com/support/guides/mbam/Settings.html

    Scroll down to Windows Action Center, see:

    You may have noticed a flag in your system tray that sometimes has a red icon with a white X appear over the flag. That is a status indicator for the Windows Action Center, which tells you when your computer has a security issue that needs your attention.
    Malwarebytes Premium 3.0 or Malwarebytes Trial 3.0 can now be registered as a security solution on your computer. There are three settings available, which will be abbreviated here for easier reading. Brief descriptions for the meaning of each setting are
    also provided.


    • Let Malwarebytes choose whether to register: Malwarebytes will determine whether it should be registered in Action Center. The program will not register when Microsoft Security Essentials is in use on a Windows 7 or older operating
      system. It will also not register when Windows Defender is used on a Windows 8 or newer OS.
    • Always register Malwarebytes: Malwarebytes program status will always appear in Action Center.
    • Never register Malwarebytes: Malwarebytes program status will never appear in Action Center.
