    I have said it before and I will say it again:

    WINDOWS DEFENDER OFFLINE IS NOT Windows Defender.

    Just click on the link for WDO in my signature or on the link given in the write-up and you will get a thorough explanation.

    It found a Trojan: JS/Redirector.JA and removed it.
    However, I ran the Fixit and once again DEP was disabled on startup.*sigh*

    Here's what Microsoft says about it:

    Technical Information (Analysis)
    Trojan:JS/Redirector.JA is a trojan, written in highly obfuscated JavaScript, that redirects users to websites that promote a male enhancement product.


    One thing, when I clicked on Full Scan it did not offer an option to select any drives. I found that only on Custom Scan, which I ran afterwards just to make sure. Shows all clean now.

    Thought I was home-free for a moment there. Could DEP just be collateral damage from the Trojan now that it's gone, or could there be something else hiding somewhere?

    Oh, and thanks for all the help so far. Didn't have a clue about Defender offline until today.

    can you now set DEP and it stay set?

    Sadly, no. It's still being disabled after each restart. Does that mean there could still be something lurking around?
