    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

    Virus and threat protection update needed but states engine unavailable

    Virus and Threat protection settings unavailable.

    Hello Community,

    My roommate tried to install a cracked PC game on my laptop and disables by windows defender to do so. I have now realized that I can no longer access my virus and threat protection settings. Whenever I click on Virus & threat protection setting I get the response that "Page not available: your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app and the item you tried to access is unavailable. Please contact IT helpdesk for more information". I am the administrator on my PC. I have tried a number of fixes online but none seem to work. Any assistance will greatly be appreciated.

    When I click on virus & threat protection this is what happens next:

    When I click ok, there are no virus & threat protection settings there. I keep getting pop-ups that tell me my real-time protection is turned off but I can access it. Please help. Thanks
