We are receiving a lot of e-mails about the
Defender Control program, but we cannot respond to e-mails
individually because we do not have enough time. Sorry for this. We
will try to respond collectively to questions that come to us with
frequent e-mails.
1 - If
you used an older version of defender Control, it may be
FAKE , please scan your system for viruses and download the latest
defender Control from its homepage. Many antiviruses give the
Defender Control program a false positive warning. The reason for
these warnings is that the program turns off windows security,
leaving the system unprotected against malware. These false positive
warnings started to affect our other programs, therefore we stopped
updating the program and do not plan to update Defender Control for
now.
2 - I
get the error Windows Defender service not found!
A Defender Control program downloaded from its homepage will not
delete/remove windows defender or any of its components. It is
possible that some other program, script or malware you ran in the
past may have deleted the Windows Defender service. If you cannot
repair Windows Defender, you can use a different antivirus. If you
want to use Windows Defender, restore a system backup before turning
off Windows Defender. As a last resort, you can reset or reinstall
the system. To reset your PC, use the following command from Run
dialog box
systemreset.exe
Or go to Start > Settings >
System > Recovery . Next to Reset this PC , select Reset PC.
3 - I
get Windows Defender cannot be started error.
After pressing the Enable button in the Defender Control program,
you may get a warning like the picture below.
If you receive such a warning, please restart the Windows system. It
is very important to restart the system! After restarting the
system, you can open Win + R keyboard shortcut run and open the
Windows Security window with the followingg command.
windowsdefender:
You may see the warning in the picture below on the windows security
screen due to Defender being down for a while, out of date, etc.
This can take a long time. Defender may hang because it has not been
updated for a long time. If the update gets stuck, cancel it and try
again. You can break the defender if you try different repair
methods before the above steps. A different program, script, or
malware that you run while the defender was previously turned off
can corrupt Windows Defender. If you cannot start Windows Defender
in any way, you can use a different antivirus software if you cannot
repair it. If you want to use Windows Defender,
Follow the second step above
4 - What
changes does the Defender Control software make in the disable
process?
The software stops the Wscsvc service,
then WinDefend and the services specified in the ini file like
WdFilter, WdNisDrv, WdNisSvc.
Some new reg values are added to the following Registry Key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender.
The software performs some Group Policy settings (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
Defender)
SecurityHealthSystray.exe
is stopped so that it does not run at system startup.
mpcmdrun.exe is blocked to prevent it
from running.
The startup values of the services specified in the ini file are
changed.
There are some other controls and operations.
If the wscsvc service is not running,
it will started.
In Defender Control enable, all changes made are undone and some
settings are restored to the system default settings.
