Microsoft Security Essentials randomly turning itself off
This problem has just started today. Microsoft security essentials is turning itself off and earlier it was turning back on when I clicked it, but now it isn't even doing that. It keeps timing out when I try to turn it on. When it was turning back on, it would turn off if I tried to do a scan.
Since then I've turned on malware bytes just cause. Really have no idea so just did that to make sure. The computer has been having issues recently with a like one or two BSODs only on startup. I'll add the SF diagnostic tool files just for more information but I do not know what else to say right now. Previous issues made me download these two security tools and I had removed all previous security completely with their tools. Programs have been randomly freezing a lot.
Edit: The diagnostic tool is freezing up on me too so I can't even get that working.
Also the crash dumps didn't appear to save properly but I can atleast give the error code. Unmountable boot volume error code 0xED. Took a picture of it with my phone if the entire series is needed.
Please go to the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool Download
Select the 64-bit version.
Save it to your Desktop.
Double-click the downloaded file to run it.
When the tool opens click Yes to the disclaimer.
Press the Scan button.
FRST64 makes a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory from which the tool is run (Desktop).
Please provide the FRST.txt in your reply. <<---
The first time the tool is run, it also makes another log: Addition.txt
Also post the: Addition.txt in your reply. <<---
It was a full scan that was completed. But after the chkdsk it was happening for a while still. Mentioned the scan working bc I was surprised. Like at 10 am, it was still randomly turning off. It hasn't though after the scan as far as I know.
This may take a while, so run the following when you can be home.
The ESET Scanner is implemented as an ActiveX control, so it is best run on Internet Explorer.
Right click the IE shortcut and select: Run as Administrator
Just curious- did you update MSE using Windows Update from last week's patch? I updated MSE on my Windows XP Dell PC and the program refused to start and slowed down the PC when I tried to turn it on. I had to uninstall the program totally and reinstall the previous version fresh to get it working again. I'm thinking the new version of MSE is bugged.
