    Windows Defender

    It appears my Windows Defender is turned off. I keep trying to open it but nothing happens. It just won't open so that I can turn it on. HELP !

    I have tried to open it and also run as adminstrator. Nothing works.

    Should I uninstall and reinstall or do you recommended another program?

    Which operating system are you using? There are different versions of Defender for each OS. Do you have any other antivirus installed along with it?

    VirtualDr email notices are not working.
    Check back regularly for responses.

    Defender is the default antivirus app for Win 8. But the version for Win 7 is pretty weak and will not run if you have other antivirus apps (like Microsoft Security Essentials) installed.
