Windows Defender won't install?
Hi,
I recently upgrade from Windows Vista Business to Windows 7 Home Premium, no major problems, apart from having to reinstall my programs.
I installed Windows Security Essentials plus all the updates, no problems.
My attempts to install Windows Defender have failed miserably!
Firstly it advised:
'You do not need to install this software because Windows Defender is included in Windows Vista. You can access windows defender from the security section of the windows control panel'
Which is a bit strange seeing that I have Windows 7 Home Premium installed!
I then tried starting the Defender Service and got the message:
'The Windows Defender service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs'
Note: Windows Defender does not show up as an installed program.
Any ideas on how to solve this puzzle?
Thanks
Chris
