Re: Windows Defender



First thing I would check is that you are logged an as an administrator
account. You can run the command net localgroup administrators to see what
users are shown in the administrators group. You can type cmd.exe in the run
box to open a command window if you are not sure how to do such. If you are
logged on as an administrator what error message do you get?

I downloaded Windows Defender Beta from Microsoft. But I cannot install it
on either a XP machine or a Windows 2000 machine. How can I install it?
