Title: Windows 7 64 Firewall fixed, Defender would not start
Post by: frydave on February 07, 2013, 08:10:29 am

Windows Repair got my firewall fixed, thanks for the excellent and easy to use tool.  I still had problems with Windows Defender.  The registry entry below fixed Defender start.

The registry needed corrected  MsMpRes.dll resides in Program Files  not Program Files (x86)
from
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinDefend]
 
"DisplayName"="@%ProgramFiles(x86)%\\Windows Defender\\MsMpRes.dll,-103"

to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinDefend]
 
"DisplayName"="@%ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender\\MsMpRes.dll,-103"

not sure if this error is in your scripts or multiple problems were on this machine.

The program doesnt touch the regkeys for the windows defender, but I am thinking of adding it.

The reg file I have has the correct path :-)
