    Will the Microsoft program protect me as well as ESET does? Sorry if it sounds like I'm skeptical, but how is ESET causing the problems?

    Apparently Microsoft Security Essentials doesn't protect well.
    Microsoft Security Essentials Tanks Another Antivirus Test

    Is there another one you would recommend?

    Hi,

    ESET is showing in your logs as the probable cause of your BSOD's as in #20

    MSE is recommended for BSOD issues and is a good AV, I use it on all my computers
    and it has protected me well, as it does with many other people.

    Perhaps you could try uninstalling ESET and then download the latest version and reinstall,
    then see if your issue remains, if it does then try MSE:

    You could try Avast, but I personally wouldn't recommend Norton or Mcafee as they
    cause system wide lag and are known for BSOD.

    I can only advise, it is up to you what you want to do, but removing ESET I believe
    is the way forward in this case, regardless.

    cheers

    Go to Services look for Desktop Windows Manager Service see if Startup type is Automatic

    Open up a run window by pressing and the R letter on your keyboard type in services.msc and press [ENTER]
