The problem was,īthat windows installer wasn't last version.
OK, I went to Microsoft download and imported last version,
but it could not be installed because of no last version of Axtive-X,
so I downloaded latest Active-X.
Now I ought to be able to install Defender?
Yes. And I started scanning computer,
Defender found some dangerous 'malware' without precizing what,
I depressed 'remove all', but got the message that certain files could not 
be removed
because I had not windows automatic update enabled.
I depressed 'turn on automatic update' in the start menu but nothing 
happened.
Got a Windows error message, clicket on the link to Microsoft and got the 
instruction
how to enable automatic updates. Didn't work, so I went to control 
panel/services and
tried to start auto update by selecting 'manual start'. But whatever I did , 
'disabled' remained.
Went to a forum for win problems, found that a specific trojan named 
'Vundo.gen!Y' .That malware
stops you from enabling windows updating. Had found the evil one.
Defender could do nothing, RegCure as well. What to do? Pareto Logics 
recommended me to
download (buy) XSoftSpy. OK, I was angry and frustrated, decided to trust 
them and installed
that program.  First and limited scan found 'Vundo.gen' and killed it. Then 
I made a total computer
scan and found over 3,000 malwares, 166 being severe! XSoftSpy eliminated 
all but this one, which
I cant get rid of : 'agent.BX'..But I will find a way sooner or later.

So, Ted, now I start my computer running Defender, then RegCure and finally 
XSoftSpy. Takes a couple of'
minutes, but it's worth waiting. My computer harddisk has stopped 'idling' , 
has been very rapidly working
and no more popping up advertisments, and no 'antivirus' messages from 
doubful software sources, nothing anomalous at all.
Like being started from fresh OS, and all my installed software is saved.

Thanks for putting me on right track, Ted!

Inge
