Cannot activate Windows Defender imbedded in computer at purchase

I have just purchased a Toshiba Satellite Laptop. It comes with Windows Defender but is IN-ACTIVATED at time of purchase. I have tried to activate it and also gone on line for guidance and the steps advised do not work.
I am wondering if the McAffee Anti-virus software is blocking it????
Can anyone explain to me how to activate the Windows Defender in my laptop?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is turned off because of mcaffee, if you turn off mcaffee you will be able to turn on windows defender.

Has anyone found a solution to error 2146893032? I am obviously connected to the internet but I cannot activate home sharing from my computer. Not my firewall..

I am trying to set up our Apple TV but we cannot activate Home Sharing. We keep getting error 2146893032. Please don't post the tutorial or troubleshooting guide. Been there already. We have also checked our virus software. Like another person who posed this question, obviously we are connected to the internet or we would not be able to post. This may reall be an iTunes issue but either way, I hope someone can help. Thanks

What are you doing to activate home sharing? Is it enabled on iTunes?
obviously we are connected to the internet or we would not be able to post.
You are connected, that does not mean ATV is.

My desktop was stolen and my laptop hard drive failed, now I cannot activate cs5 on a new computer, what are my options?

Someone robbed my apartment and made off with my imac. I filed a report with the police and insurance bought me a new one. Around the same time the laptop I use crashed. I has installed cs5 on both of these computers. I was able to activate cs5 on my new desktop, I'm guessing because I backed up my account on an external hard drive, but since the laptop crashed and was fixed I'm unable to activate cs5 again (the message claims I've activated cs5 on too many computers).The hard drive in the laptop was replaced. How can I reinstall cs5 on my laptop?

Cannot install windows 8 on Pavilion Elite M9600T (KX745AV-ABA) with Vista 64 BIT

I cannot install windows 8 on my computer. I contacted Microsoft and he worked on it for three hours and said I had a graphics card driver problem.I am using a Nvidia GeForce 9800GT which came with the computer. When I try to update to the latest driver (306.97) Which is on the Microsoft update site and also on the Nvidia site The screen says no signal and goes to sleep. I have been working with a Nvidia rep for a week now and he says it is not their driver that is causing the problem and that I should contact HP. I don't know what else to do. I removed the working Nvidia driver (SP41066) also and Tried to install windows 8 and recieved the same message "Windows installation was not successful" and returned me to Vista 64 Bit. I don't know what else to do. Can someone please help or am I just out of luck. Thank you,
Gene

You're welcome mrchips108
By the way up for one more go. I was finally able to find someone with a possible solution for you. the user yashoshah on the tomshardware forums had the problem:
"Windows installation was not successful. Your previous version of windows will be restored. Please do not switch off your computer during this time"
SOURCE: Windows installation not successful
He fixed it by removing the HDMI cable and connecting to the monitor through DVI. After it was installed he went back to using HDMI.
How is your video card connected to the monitor: what cable and what interface is on the monitor and what interface are you using on the video card? Perhaps the Microsoft rep you spoke to was partly correct about the video card being the problem. It might be that the driver built into Windows 8 has a problem with certain configurations.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.

Please activate Windows

Hi, I recently upgraded my new Acer ultrabook to Windows 8. After having windows 8 for a few days I came across many problems. I researched the problems and I was told to "Refresh my PC" This fixed the problems however my computer now tells me
that Windows is no longer active and my product key is being used with another computer. This prevents me from downloading any apps and always annoyingly pops up telling me to activate Windows. The product code I purchased "Is already in use with another
PC" after using the "Refresh my PC" setting, any help?

Try activating by phone.
How to activate Windows 8 by phone

I cannot activate the Windows.

I bought a new Dell inspiron 2 weeks ago. One day all the default apps disappeared with no reason. I went to my university technology center for help, and they reinstalled the windows 8 for me.
However, the computer I bought is pre-installed with window 8.1. But now my computer is windows8. Here is the problem. I cannot activate the windows. And I could not find product key for my windows because Dell said it was injected in the computer.
What should I do now?

Windows Defender cannot open

Hello,
I've got a question about Windows defender: I have a brand new Thinkpad T440S (Windows 8.1 Pro) and
Windows Defender cannot open. There is a message saying: “This app has been turned off and isn’t monitoring your computer”. Impossible to turn it on”. When I try to launch it (R+service.mcs + windows defender), I still have this message: “Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.”
What should I do about this issue?
Thanks a lot for your answers/advice.

Hello,
For Windows 8 (and later), Microsoft renamed its Microsoft Security Essentials anti-malware software to Windows Defender. Which can be a bit confusing since Windows Defender was the name of the anti-spyware program Microsoft shipped for Windows 2000 through Windows 7, and worked alongside other anti-malware programs.
Windows Defender (the version for Windows 8 and newer) is a full anti-malware program and cannot be run in combination with other anti-malware programs such as those from Kaspersky, McAfee, Symantec and so forth.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Windows is easy to install, if you read and follow the instructions.
