Windows defender automatically turned on by an update ?
Hi !
Today i noticed that Windows Defender was on.
Even though i have 2 (TWO) antimalware-programs running with realtime-protection on....
I´m using WS2008-R2, not W8.
I suspect it was automatically turned on by an update a few days ago.
And the GUI looks (almost) like MSE...
Does anyone know which update is causing this ?
I only update manually, checking each update before downloading and installing them, and i have not seen any information about Windows Defender being updated and activated.
Have anyone else noticed the same ?
Open Control Panel→ Windows Defender and check your setttings !
You might have Windows Defender on without knowing it....

Yes, i know it´s weird, it´s usually the opposite with Defender being turned off.
I restored a systembackup a few days ago, removed SCEP and upgraded EAM to a new version.
Something might have happened during that upgrade, athough it shouldn´t.
I´ve restored that backup to another partition, so i´m going to repeat the whole procedure just to see exactly what happens and when Defender is activated.
