Windows 7: Event Viewer Error WerSvc service

Hello, I have an error in event viewer



I have googled and I think it might be a malware.
Recently I have viewed a website that is now presented with a warning so Im quite worried. Also, yesterday, my computer's microsoft security essentials was disabled, and I have no idea why.


Full Scan did not reveal anything, so Im using Microsoft safety scanner Microsoft Safety Scanner - Free online tool for PC health and safety




What is this error?

Thanks in advance

Came up clean. For the error you are getting, I would recommend checking for data corruption:

• Run Disk Check with both boxes checked for all HDDs and with Automatically fix file system errors checked for all SSDs. Post back your logs for the checks after finding them using Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log.
  For any drives that do not give the message:
  Windows has checked the file system and found no problems
  run disk check again as above. In other words, if it says:
  Windows has made corrections to the file system
  after running the disk check, run the disk check again.
  
  
• Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations.

Unfortunately, I am going on holiday and will be only back on sunday to run those checks. Would you mind waiting? Thanks

I do not mind waiting at all. Just post back when you have run them and I will keep an eye out for your post.

2nd scan

Everything checks out there... Odd. Let's see if the service itself is running as it should.

For the services, if you

• open the Start Menu and type Services into the Search programs and files, you will get a few options.
• Right click on the option with gears as the icon and Run as administrator.
• Right click the WerSvc service.
• Click Properties.
• Go to the Dependencies tab, and in the first box, a list of services that service depends on will be given.
• Write down the services that need to start for dependencies to be resolved.
• Make sure these services are all set to start automatically by
  • right clicking those services,
  • clicking properties,
  • going to the General tab,
  • and making the Startup type is Automatic.

I cant find it in the list
