Hi,
when running a test in performance under control panel at the end of the
test it told me i had no anti spyware program but i have windows defender ,
does this not count as an anti spyware?

Are you sure the message said "anti spyware [sic]" and not "antivirus"?

yes defiantly says it under performance information and tools, it says
the security center reports that there is no anti-spyware product actively
protecting this computer.

though defender is mentioned along with my anti-virus further in the report

under root\securitycenter.select *from antispyware product

[sigh] You will find that providing one or two-word answers and no details
will not get you help. I'm not going to spend my time trying to drag the
details out of you. So here are links to show you what you need to provide
in order to get focused help, as well as the First and Second Questions of
Troubleshooting for you to answer. Come back with all pertinent details and
we can go from there. Or take the machine to a competent local computer tech
(not a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place).

How to Post:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 - How to Ask a Question
http://users.tpg.com.au/bzyhjr/liszt.htm - How Not to Get Technical Help on
Usenet
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed
between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

And if you think your computer is completely fine except for Windows
Defender, there is a dedicated newsgroup for it:

If you choose to post there, you should provide the necessary information
for the WD experts to help you.
