    Cannot open Virus and Threat Protection MISSING and reg.exe INSTANTLY CLOSES

    Hi, I have similar problem refer to the link above after uninstalling Norton Security Ultra pre-downloaded from my laptop. I am currently using Acer Nitro 5 AN515-43 running on Windows 10 Home


    As I've read the whole thread, one thing I've noticed is that:
    reg.exe automatically closes.

    I have also tried downloading the Norton Remove n' Reinstall Remove only option.

    My problem still persists, I wish to disable the Real-time protection msmpeng.exe which eats unusually large memory ranging from 80-150 MB.
    I have considered downloading Malwarebytes and do the according steps, as well as downloading Microsoft Safety Scanner. Both showed no detection of any unwanted programs or any suspicious files.


    Before anything else, I've done a system restore on my laptop just a month ago due to SrtTrail.txt BSOD. I believe Norton Security Ultra causes this problem that I have. My laptop is strictly used for school and casual gaming. All games are downloaded through Steam and school files are done through Microsoft Office tools Word, PowerPoint, Excel.

    :)

    Virus threat protection

    Hi Valentin

    As an alternative approach, you can allow that utility through the Controlled Folder Access section of WIndows 10 security . . .

    Open Windows Defender Security Center

    Go to Virus & threat protection - Virus & threat protection settings

    Scroll down to Controlled folder access

    From there, you can add Dell Data Vault to the list of safe or allowed apps to prevent it from being blocked

    Please do not leave Controlled Folder Access turned off permanently

    virus and threat protection

    Virus and threat protection has stopped and will not restart, Windows 10 ver 1709, antimalware client ver 4.12.16299.15 . SuperAntiSpyware installed.

    I have tried most of the suggestions from the support pages, all have been ineffective. Any suggestions

    Moved from: Virus and Malware / Windows Defender / Updating Virus and Spyware Definitions / Windows 10
