Windows Defender nowhere to be found and will not start
I am unable to to turn on windows defender. When I hit start I get this message: the specified service does not exist as an installed service error code 0x80070424. I believe windows defender is the reason I am getting the error message:Cannot install the driver plugin error: failed to start service: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion (1075) when I am trying to install HitBliss. Windows Defender will not let me open tools. I have Avast for anti-virus and have turned it off and still get same error. I can not find windows defender in my registry. I have tried just about everything except reinstalling windows 7 and starting all over. The only place I can find windows defender as a program is under the control panel. Any ideas?? Also how can I reinstall windows 7 without a disk?? If I do a reboot what should I need to save other than pictures and music. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
Update: Just tried to download windows defender from Microsoft and it says Windows Defender is not compatable with my operating system?? It says I can download it for other OS?
