Windows Defender seems to be clashing with my anti-virus program. Does anyone
else seem to have this problem?
All input would be helpful

It keeps turning off my virus protection. Then I get an alert from WindowOld Rebel said:Could you describe exactly what conflicts you are seeing between McAfee and
Defender?

Brandon said:I agreed with Frank, I have McAfee VirusScan 10 and Defender and
there are no issues between McAfee and Defender. The Issue is only
between IE7 Beta 2 Preview and McAfee.
Old Rebel said:All of that about McAfee reminds me of what Microsoft Antispyware did
to Symntec AntiVirus. Some deleted files and crippled programs there
too. That's why I do not have any of my security tools set to take
actions automatically. They can "automatically" crash your system. I
had that McAFee false positive show up in about 50 files, but I
researched before I acted and received an immediate update that
resolved the problem. Defender should not be enabled to automatically
take actions after a scheduled scan either.

out as not known.
There's a relatively new version at the download center--don't know if this
changes the detection or not, but it may be worth trying.
Bill Sanderson said:I wouldn't be too quick to throw stones. Microsoft Antispyware had a
similar "issue" with Symantec Corporate antivirus about a month and a
half ago.
This stuff will happen--what's important is how well the vendors
handle it.
