    mbam= malwarebytes antimalware. Best malware killer out there. Freeware version has same defs as the paid but has to be updated by the user, doesnt have real time protection (only on demand) and doesnt have something called flash protection. But all thats no big deal, great product.

    Yeah, just goto control panel and click on Windows Defender, you'll see MSE right before your eyes. :p

    The windows Defender is was disabled after a malware infection removed OK with Malware Bytes. How i can make it to work again because if i want to start it manually from control panel it give error: Couldn't start Windows Defender service. The specified service does not exist or as an installed service.

    this is not a complete OS,these things will happen,sorry to say:(,i suggest to go back to windows 7 if you want a stable OS,unless you want to re-install windows 8 every other day,like i have,but i don't mind that,i enjoy doing that:) plus i have WDP installed on 2 hard drives and 2 ssd's and i have re-installed on all 4 of them 2-3 times:)

    Windows 8 also supports Windows XP Service Pack 2 Compatibility Mode.

    Which driver are you trying to install?

    i have a problem here.
    i was and still using windows 7 ultimate sp1. today as i installed Win 8 DP and connected to internet it activated itself. But now as i logged on win 7 and checked it activation status it say "30 days to activate". My win 7 was activated and was working properly as i activated it by a loader. but now i cannot activate it. even using command prompt! i cannot activate it . i installed win 8 on different partition but it affected my win 7 activation status.
    Can anyone help me? Please......

    Activate Windows 7 by a loader like you did before.

    Probably, the Windows 8 has been modified the partition boot bode, and deactivated the SLIC injection...

    I use the SLIC Driver Injection on Windows 7 to solve the conflicts Loader x Boot Code...
