DEFENDER turned OFF
Defender is turned off and notice says that it can only be turned back on via
"GROUP POLICY". How do I do this? Information on group policy seems very complicated and I'm hoping there is an easy solution to turning Defender back on. Help!!! I am running Vista -- WILDTOPIARY

I am running Vista Windows Vista editions that support Group Policy are Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate. 1) Is the system running one of those editions ? 2) What is the installed antivirus/security suite ? 3) What was the result when the system was last scanned for the presence of malware and when was that done ?

DEFENDER turned OFF
Hello and Welcome to Vista Forum. You did not give too much information in your post and ultimately you may have to provide an answer to the questions that were asked by the previous poster. If I may venture a guess, it would be my opinion that you may be using MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) as your anti virus. If that is the case, your Defender is turned off intentionally, as its function is no longer required. Its functions are being performed by MSE. If you have any further problems or questions, just post, again. Your questions will always be welcome at the Forum, Good Luck. -- richc46 *Richard* *If I have helped you in any way, please show your appreciation, by clicking the middle icon, on the upper right portion of your screen.* *Before you take my advice make a System Restore point.*
