Windows Defender keeps stopping

[Mark T.]

I have Windows XP SP2, my processor is 735Mhz and my RAM memory is 368 MB.

My copy of Windows Defender keeps stopping and I've tried to go to the
Sevices program to manually restrart it, but seconds later, it stops again.
Also, I tried

shutting down the computer, but still Defender keeps stopping.

If anyone can help me solve this problem, I appreciate it.

Thank you,
Mark T.

P.S.

If you need any info on my copy of Defender, I hope what's below helps.

Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1593.0
Engine Version: 1.1.2607.0
Definition Version: 1.19.2720.2

Download a free version of AVG Spyware
http://www.grisoft.com/doc/31/us/crp/0 and run it.

Some malware will stop defender (and other prevention programs) and it
sure reads like that's what's happening to you.

At 735mhz AVG will own your computer until it's done it's scan.

Mark T. aka (e-mail address removed),after much thought,came up with this
jewel:

I have Windows XP SP2, my processor is 735Mhz and my RAM memory is
368 MB.

My copy of Windows Defender keeps stopping and I've tried to go to
the Sevices program to manually restrart it, but seconds later, it
stops again.

There are better products out there. Try Spyware Terminator.
You may be infected already. Read through my general removal
instructions below. Prevention is key. On a side note,your system could
use a bit more ram.

How is a 30-day trial version considered freeware? It is trialware.

"free of charge, for an UNLIMITED time"

Post to the microsoft.private.security.spyware.general group using
Microsoft's privatenews.microsoft.com NNTP server (account name
"privatenews\spyware", password "spyware" in all lowercase).

Of course, free download, 30 days to use it, and don't let it call out
after that 30 days or it will disable itself. (That's what the manual
updates are for).

The suggestion was to hopeful fix the problem he has now. What he does
after that?
