Defender keeps turning off

I have defender as well as live one care. Recently maybe once or twice a day
even I will get the yellow icon for defender. I click on it and it says that
defender is off.
I have not turned it off and turn it back on only to find it the next day
repeating it.

Any clues on what might be casuing this

om

I have the same problem and it is quite annoying. I have not found any
settings within the program that may be causing this.

One Care disables Defender. One Care has spyware protection as well as virus
protection therefore Defender is unnecessary. If you enable Defender with
One Care installed it will most likely cause performance issues. Please
leave Defender disabled as this behavior is by design.

This applies to OneCare v1.5, I believe. Thanks for this.

Microsoft has established separate newsgroups for Windows Defender support
and comments. This is not one of them. See

Just for clarity, since January 30th the only One Care version is 1.5.
Anyone installing One Care from a previously purchased v.1.1cd will be
installing v.1.5 since the cd did not contain any actual bits but only
connects to the download location.

My Defender does the same thing, and when I run Spybot Search & Destory, it
brings up 2 entries that say:

Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.FirewallDisabled

Is this legit, then? or do I have a Problem running around in my computer?

When I click on details, it gives me something from the Registry (I assume,
I am not a tech user):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\domainprofile\enablefirewall!=dword:1

So, is this OneCare's doing? and if so, where does Microsoft tell us about
this isssue? Just curious.

I'm almost tempted to remove OneCare, as it's given me nothing but little
troubles ever since I installed it.

Installing OneCare v1.5 disables Defender.
