Same problem. But, I’ve gone through the steps above to turn it off, saved it and lo and behold the Action Centre warning still comes up. So it ignores that it’s been turned off. Then I thought well leave it on – how much problem can that be? So I clicked turn it on in the Action Centre box but on next boot the same message so it won’t even remember that it’s been turned on.

[...] Windows Defender is an anti malware tool that is about as useful as sunglasses in a storm. It takes up significant resources such as memory and scans all files as they are accessed and saved. Read Here [...]

Hi Ross
The “Spyware and related protection” has been unchecked. This was the first thing I did, thinking it was a conflict with Avast! Checked with Avast!, they said no conflicts, and to leave Windows Defender on. I still have the same problem. Is the ‘Action Center’ booting too late? (after Win Defender) The reason I ask this is because I never even see the notification flag until several minutes after I boot.
Thanks for you help.

sv7 & Odium - If you follow the steps in this tutorial and make sure to remove the check in the "Spyware and related protection" that should solve the problem. I'd test myself but I've uninstalled Windows 7 for the time being..

o.k. fine, I understand but;
my problem is everytime I boot, win7 has a window on my desktop telling me win defender is turned off, click here to turn back on. As well – if I turn back on, everytime I reboot, win7 has a window on my desktop saying win defender service has stopped click here to restart. Its driving me crazy!!! I wish it would go away. I’m using build 7077. I only have like 3 programs installed, including avast! 4.8 home, no other spyware or antivirus or anything like that. Oh and windows firewall if that means anything. Any help? Thanks for your time.
