Defender
silhouett:
Recently I decided as my machine was slower to run the Tweaking software, First time since you added the safe mode stuff we had talked about before.
I also decided to download and run the malwarebytes. after running the complete process then restoring services, startups and scheduled crap etc.
I decided to uninstall malwarebytes. I did and rebooted and then had two errors, no virus detection and A usb error with my modem being not compatible with
this version of windows, Odd as it was before ? anyway I tested the modem and it still worked fine and I archived that message. The other problem though was not so
simple as I tried to start defender and it would not start had software 577 error. I checked the registry and found I could not change the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\windows Defender key stuff as I had no permissions to it ? System did and trusted installer but not Administrators.
I had to retake control of ownership of the keys DisableAntiSpyware & DisableAntiVirus and then go to malwarebytes.com and get their removal tool as the software
would not completely remove. It was only then I had any control. I feared some other stuff might be messed up so I restored from the backup before I ran the your software.
Now I am not sure why these things happen ?
Shane:
Never had those errors happen when I have ran it, so not sure. Lets see if we can find out :-)
First what version of windows was it ran on?
Shane
silhouett:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
6.3.9600 Build 9600
Shane:
The registry and file permissions repairs are ran and put back to the defaults, and the windows defender registry key was put back to its default, I took a screen shot of mine to show what the default is :-)
My permissions tool use to give you full control which fixed a lot of things, but in Windows 8, when you do that will completely break the app store. Windows 8 is the easiest OS to break. So the only way I could properly fix Windows 8 with permissions was by restoring the default permissions.
But, I have ran the repair tool on a ton of Windows 8 machines and never got the errors you did, so I am curious what the difference is.
How is everything running right now?

Well mine looked like yours with No administrators or windef ?
I might add that I have ad-ware Antivirus But it was disabled.
I ran malwarebytes this time which I had not done before which is the only thing I did different this time other then safemode steps
Oh and I afterwards uninstalled malwarebytes and then tried to activate windows defender which is where I noticed something wasn't right as windows defender would not start it instead went to explorer screen. When I tried to start the service I got Error 577
I then went and looked up that symptom and found a blurp http://www.eightforums.com/system-security/35851-windows-defender-won-t-turn.html
When I checked the keys I mention I didn't have permissions to them as no Administrators were part of that.
I actually think this is more of a that version of malwarebytes then your program.
However I wasn't 100% sure so I figured I would post it.
