Recently installed Internet Explorer 8 on my laptop running Vista. Since then Windows Defender will not turn on and gives me an error code of 0x800705b4. How do I fix this please. Thanks. Ted If you have one of the following AV, anti-virus, programs installed, it will shut down your Windows Defender. Reason being those AVs have their own defenders. 2 defenders running in the same machine will create conflicts. Bottom line : it's ok. It's normal. List of AVs that will shut down Windows Defender : Norton McAfee AVG Microsoft Security Essentials If you do not have the above AV programs, here is how to restart Windows Defender: Start button > in the search box, type Services > press Enter key > scroll to find Windows Defender, click it > .... under Status heading, it should say ......... Started under Startup Type, it should say ............ Automatic If it does not say that, Right click at Windows Defender > click Properties > at Startup Type, click the pointer at far right and select Automatic at Service Status, click Start click OK when done. If it solves your problem, I did it. If it does not, my twin brother did it.
