Vista Malware Protection Disabled! Friday, May 25, 2007 at 11:49 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by dan wood (3 messages posted) Just something I'm bit concerned about, Whenever I boot up my Vista PC from today I'm getting warnings that my Malware protection is disabled, when clicking on the shield it tells me I have no antivirus software and that windows defender is disabled! If I click "Turn on now" to windows defender it tells me that there are no available updates, when launching defender itself, it tells me it is monitoring the system and there are no issues. Also AVG the latest edition is running, fully updated, and in the taskbar next to the clock. BUT the red shield is still there despite this.. any ideas? It is a bit worrying, I've done a spyware and virus scan, but could this be some new virus for vista? Or any services that could be disabled causing it not to see the programmes are running?
