| Windows 7 7 posts | Windows defender keeps bugging me... Every time I log in, Windows Defender tells me that "This program is turned off". I installed MSE when I first installed 7. MSE is running and Defender keeps bugging me that it's turned off. How can I fix it so Defender will stop telling me that it is turned off? |

| Windows 7 Home Premium 1,310 posts Evansville, WI | It is supposed to be turned off/uninstalled automatically when MSE is installed, but it doesn't "always" seem to work that way. Go to "Programs and Features" in the control panel and see if it is still listed there. It shouldn't be, but if it is, uninstall it. |

| Windows 7 Home Premium 1,310 posts Evansville, WI | Hmmm....ok. How about going into Control Panel\Administrative Tools > Services and disabling in there? Other than that, i'm not sure why it would still pop-up when MSE is installed. Can also go to msconfig and make sure it is not checked to startup when the comuter starts up. |

| Windows 7 7 posts | I checked and it's not in the running services. I went into Services and Disabled Windows Defender. The next time I booted up I got the same pop up. I've attached a screen shot of the pop up, and the Action Center. There isn't anything in the Action Center to change like it suggests. |

| Windows 7 7 posts | I am trying to disable it. I have MSE that I use instead. I don't see Windows Defender in MSCONFIG. |

| 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 & Windows 8 Enterprise 47,741 posts Texas | Hello Slughappy1, and welcome to Seven Forums. You may have had a botched MSE install. See if turning on Windows Defender, then uninstalling and reinstalling MSE again may stop this for you. |
