Windows Defender turns off
I have Windows XP, recently installed Windows Defender. I don't have McAffe, or any additional security programs running. At least twice a week, I get a warning that windows defender is not running. What is going on?

Windows Defender is not an antivirus. If you have no other security programs installed there is a strong probability that your computer is infected. Be sure the computer is clean: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware Post back with the results of your thorough scanning if you need more help. Do not skip the preparatory work. If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
