Windows 7: Both ESET and Windows Defender aren't turned on

CrossAlex21 · 27 Oct 2019

Whenever I restart my pc or turn on my pc, It says that the Firewall, Spyware and Virus Protection programs are turned off. Please help me!

Download and run Malwarebytes [FREE] from here => Malwarebytes.

I hope this helps!

Will this check for any viruses?

It will check for Malware which can make your computer act in an unusual way [like you are having]!
You should also check for viruses using your installed virus software [Eset Internet Security]. You should be able to run [launch] it from a cmd prompt or in Safe Mode!

I have runned the scan on my Antivirus, it says it's clean. I have some corrupted files, will that cause the problem?

Will some of the corrupted Windows files cause the problem?

The corrupted Win 7 files can cause problems.

Under the heading sfc [System File Checker] . . ., please run SFC.bat, Options [2] and [3] from here => BATCH PROGRAMS [Standalone] and then upload the results using the tutorial at the bottom of the above link [Upload to SevenForums . . .] and someone will look at it for you.

SFC can correct corrupted .dll [Dynamic Linked Library] files which is what the corruptions are as per your post.

There is further information in Post #1.

I hope this helps!

I have runned the SFC command and it says "Windows found corrupted files but couldn't fix some of them" Should I access Repair My Computer and click Startup Repair in Advanced Settings?
Are the corrupted files cause of this problem in the first place?

[1] Did you run Option 3?
[2] If so, please upload the CBS_ERRORS.txt file on the desktop.

Thanks.

PaulB, would a repair install be helpful here, after making sure backups are made?
