kk. Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hello! I would like to point out a possible error I found. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium and have Microsoft Security Essentials installed and enabled. Security Essentials work as an antivirus. Windows Defender, as far as I know, doesn't even exist anymore (at least it's not supported). But what I got from Speccy is: Operating System MS Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit Installation Date: 09 November 2010, 19:40 Serial Number: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX Windows Security Center Firewall Enabled Antivirus Disabled Windows Defender Windows Defender Disabled ...which I believe is not true... Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozer Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Windows Defender, as far as I know, doesn't even exist anymore (at least it's not supported). Windows Defender is still supported for us who do not have MSSE installed and prefer to use other AVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk. Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 oops! anyway, this doesn't change the actual Speccy prob... It should say Antivirus - Enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted December 29, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2010 When you install Microsoft Security Essentials it automatically disables Windows Defender. If you open your windows 7 control panel, Windows Defender will be listed there but if you open it it will say it is disabled.

Artlover Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 To get back on topic. I too can confirm as a Windows 7 user (32bit), that Speccy (using v1.07.205) does NOT report antivirus status properly. I have both Avast 5 (free home edition) and Ad-Aware Pro 9 and Speccy still reports antivirus as being disabled. Where-as Windows Security Center sees them just fine and reports antivirus as enabled.

Moderators Nergal Posted January 3, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2011 I too confirm ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
