General Computer Support / Defender 'turned off' and 'does not exist' Win7-64
« on: June 25, 2013, 12:04:01 pm »
After all-in-one successfully solved a turned off & blocked windows firewall, I noticed that Defender was absent
Defender is nowhere to be found in the control panel's Action Center. A Search in the control panel for 'defender' finds the program, and when double clicked, an info window reports "The program is turned off" When I click on "click here to turn it on", a red-X info window reports "The specified service does not exist as an installed service. (Error Code: 0x80070424).
Microsoft offers more goose chases, none that work. Any help welcome.
