Sound as though your PC is infected, and in downloading Detective Driver &
RegTool you have probably made it worse
There are numerous posts here on how to clean up your PC when its infected,
eg
Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan (separately) with the
following two applications (freeware versions are the ones to use for this):
SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/
MalwareBytes
http://www.malwarebytes.com/
After performing a full scan with one and then the other and removing
whatever they both find completely, you may uninstall these products,
if you wish.

| | | | | Hello jriggs01,
To add to DL's excellent comments--
Please bear in mind that You cannot uninstall Windows Defender on Vista--it
is a part of the OS.
-=-
What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current?
[antivirus/anti-malware/cookie or popup blocker/or, any security
software that monitors the registry keys for changes]
-=-
What anti-spyware applications (other than Windows Defender)?
-=-
What third-party firewall (if any)?
-=-
In Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
Scroll down to find 'Windows Defender'.
Right-click, then select 'Properties'.
In the 'General' tab the 'Startup type' was set to 'Manual'.
I changed it to 'Automatic' then selected 'Apply' > 'OK'.
A re-start got rid of the error message.
-=-
-or-
One thing I can think of is to try running the command "sfc /scannow"
in a elevated command prompt.
How Open Command Prompt as Administrator on Elevation in Vista
Run SFC to see if any file from the OS has been delete or corrupt.
Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories and right-click
on the Command Prompt and choose "Run as administrator".
Type in:
SFC /SCANNOW
and press your Enter key.
-=-
I hope this helps.
Please let us know what fixes the problem or if the p??oblem remains

Howdy Feather,
Does Defender shut off after the system is running or when you first
start it up ?
Windows Defender will be shut off when an antivirus/security suite is
installed that contains an antispyware component; there is an issue with
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI); or, the system is infected and
the malware turns it off.
To see if this is a WMI issue, open an Elevated Command Prompt
( Click the Start orb; in the Start Search field enter
cmd
Under Programs, *right* click cmd.exe and choose 'Run as administrator'
Enter the password and click Continue. If none is used, click Continue)
At the prompt type in the below exactly as written and then press Enter
winmgmt /verifyrepository
If this message appears " WMI repository is not consistent ", then type
in the below and press Enter
winmgmt /salvagerepository
You may have to run the above command more than once before you receive
a Success message.
To close the Command Prompt type in
exit
Press Enter
Restart the system.
If the message states that the WMI repository is consistent, then
there's *no need* to attempt to salvage it.

Hi MowGreen,
Thanks for the help. I have done some further research and now believe
the problem lies with AVG 9.0 and the fact there is some incompatibility
problem with it and Windows Defender. AVG 9.0 seems to switch
Defender off. However, if I open and turn it on when I turn on my
computer then it seems to work fine. It only switches off when I turn
my computer off.

You're mowst welcome, Feather. Yes, AVG 9 contains
and it's shutting off Defender, which is what it's supposed to do.
Windows Defender is automatically turned off during installation
http://www.avg.com/us-en/faq.num-2672faq_2672
" During the installation of AVG 9.0 products, the Microsoft Windows
Defender application will be automatically turned off.
Windows Defender is not removed from the computer, only disabled for the
time AVG is installed.
Please note that this is important to prevent conflicts between AVG and
Windows Defender. As they are both security applications, they will try
to check files you are working with. Since they will do that at the same
time, conflicts may arise. These can cause freezing, crashes or slowdown
of computer. It is generally not recommend to use more than one security
product on one computer. "
Actually, one can use more than one security product on the same
computer BUT only *one* of should be actively monitoring the system
(aka RealTime Protection).
So, if you want to manually update Defender so it can be used to *scan*
the system IF a malware issue arises, you can get it's latest definiton
file from here:
