Microsoft security Essentials wont start

<< < (2/4) > >>

Shane:
Yeah run all the repairs, make sure antivirus is off and make sure to do a reg backup with the program first :-)

how to disable the antivirus?i dont have access to it,even at service list there is no option to start or stop it.
I run all repairs with no luck.Also i run sfc.
I start the windows in safe mode and the MSE runs corectly.I made a scan with it and malwarebytes and TDSS with no luck also.

1. Make sure the Services "Windefend" and "MsMpSvc" are running and set to "Start= Auto". Windows Repair allows you to set the start up state of a number of services ("Set services to Default Startup").
2. In "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client" open the program "msseces.exe". That opens the MS Security Essentials program.

peterpanx:
1) "Windefend" probably you mean "windefender" .  The service is stopped and i cant start it. the desc says: < failed to read description.Error code: 1168 >

the other service "MsMpSvc" i cant locate something like this.
"windows Repair allows you to set the start up state of a number of services ("Set services to Default Startup"). " what you mean ?

2) the app wont start.

Shane:
Try uninstalling Microsoft security Essentials, reboot, then run all my repairs, reboot and try to install Microsoft security Essentials again.

Does everything else work in Windows? like Windows updates and the Windows firewall?

Reason why I ask is if for some reason you are still infected then my repairs will be no good as every time it fixies something the virus would just undo it again.

Such as deleting services, which a lot of viruses do.

Try Malwarebytes Anti Rootkit tool

Let me know if it finds anything :wink:
