You are not alone.

Filter driver error is appearing in the System Event Log

However, error 80004005 seems to be a generic error that can be caused by anything. So please try a couple of things:

1) Run a scan with Malwarebytes.

2) Run a sfc scan.

Just to be sure open MSE window. Click the curtain arrow marked yellow in pic.
Click Upgrade. This will make sure you have latest non beta version.
I'm sure you probably have but it won't hurt to check.

If all else fails.
Microsoft says file a report. Last post on this thread.
Filter driver error is appearing in the System Event Log

Submit a support case to Microsoft: https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/?scrx=1

If all else fails.

sfc/scannow showed nothing running malwarebytes now but did run this yesterday and it found nothing.Am running version 1.0 and recieved the big update this morning to 1.95.30 so i know im up to date this makes no sense at all.

Tried reinstalling and the same thing on reboot will open a case with microsoft.Ive just noticed in task scheduler a second mse task MPIdleTask below the scheduled scan task which is running and thrashing my hard drive and cpu is this normal

You just reinstalled, so it is doing a idle background scan to create a base comparison scan. That way it can detect changes to the registry to stop malware etc.

Thats the idle time scan. You can disable it or change its frequency.

Go to Task Scheduler, Task Scheduler Library - Microsoft - Microsoft Antimalware

Select MPIdleTask, right click, select properties

In the Conditions tab, click on the dropdown and change to whatever you want.

Otherwise, just delete the task, if you dont want it running at all. Suggest you leave it enabled and change the condition so that it runs only when the computer has been idle for one hour or 2 hours.

Have altered it to what you suggested bill the odd thing is that it wasnt there before thats why i paniked.Have opened a case with microsoft will wait for a reply and post back.Looking around im not the only person to have this issue.
Thankyou all for your help

As Promised this is what microsoft had to say

This issue normally occurs due to the following reasons:

If you decide to remove MSE and reinstall it, after you remove it check C:/Program Data/Microsoft folder for any left over MSE information. I had similar problems last year and these files were corrupt. They don't always get removed properly and are suppose to be overwritten during updates but may not happen correctly.
