    Hello MS Community - I'm driving myself crazy exhausting every conceivable solution besides a clean install to resolve my PC constant error messages noted below. I usually get the error messages when an app starts up. What started as a few has turned into numerous unexpected system crashes with several that would not windows to boot. I've always been skeptical about virus protection outside of windows build. Call it a conspiracy theory that has kept me free from viruses for years with my thinking these software companies take advantage when you let them in. When my system started to slow down and my email was on the dark web, I gave them a shot. I use clean my mac for my imac and it seems to perform well. When they recently got into the pc market, I gave it a run and a scan would show clean results. I then dl maleware bytes whose first scan of course indicated all cleanmypc files as PUP. They did remove some adaware with some temp relief. Then i started to get attacks through chrome where they took control of my settings. I figured the free version was limited and purchased the year license at 50% off. First scan after purchase found 352 files. I went through the quarantine list and after the first 50, I started to scan after seeing they were all malware/adaware/spyware no PUP to check as sys files before approving delete. The next day began with warnings below claiming bad image eg adobe no longer compatible. with this ver of win pro. I reinstalled creative cloud and all apps with warnings then tried to update windows as noted below dl fails each time. Biggest improvement came after a deep 8 hour scan using Microsoft's Safety app where 19 files listed as the 5 below were deleted. I restarted and still get the warning popups and win updates still fails after 15 secs of dl. Any suggestions besides the inevitable clean install. I greatly appreciate your time to respond. Thanks so much!

  2. malware bytes

    Hello Bob

    Thanks for posting Microsoft Community. I'm Marcos Independent Advisor.

    Is Malware Bytes free version or Premiun?

    If it is the Malware Bytes free version there should be no conflict, because they won't be doing the same work.

    Malware Bytes free version runs as a periodic scanner, looking for malware, Windows Defender will be running as a real-time protection.

    I suggest you testing both it should work well with Defender.

    If you have Premiun Malware Bytes then It is not recommended to run more than one real-time Anti-Malware product. You should only chose to use one of them.

    Hope it helps you let me know if you need further assistance.

    Regards.
