Windows 8 Windows Defender turned off on new Dell laptop?!? - ChrisMas - 05-02-2013 11:33 AM
I want to uninstall the McAfee and use Windows Defender. When I click on Windows Defender I get a pop up that says "Windows Defender is turned off and not monitoring your computer" and all I can do is close it. How do I turn Windows Defender on???
