Windows blocks programs at startup and I can't turn it off
Please help. We have an older Acer laptop that runs Windows Vista. It works fine except Windows Defender blocks Malwarebytes at startup. I have gone online looking for tutorials on how to disable Windows Defender. Tried pretty much everything everyone suggested - going to Defender through msconfig to turn it off also unchecked Windows Defender in "services" and "startup" but nothing seemed to work. As soon as I restarted my computer the same "Windows has blocked some programs" message popped up and I still have to manually allow it to come through. Is there a permanent option to allow it, or a way to really disable Windows Defender in Vista for good? We have two other computers that run Windows 7 along with Malwarebytes without the same problem so I assume it's a conflict between Malwarebytes and Vista Windows Defender.
Any constructive suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
