Defender

[silhouett]

Recently I decided as my machine was slower to run the Tweaking software, First time since you added the safe mode stuff we had talked about before.
I also decided to download and run the malwarebytes.  after running the complete process then restoring services, startups and scheduled crap etc.
I decided to uninstall malwarebytes.   I did and rebooted and then had two errors, no virus detection and A usb error with my modem being not compatible with
this version of windows, Odd as it was before ?  anyway I tested the modem and it still worked fine and I archived that message.  The other problem though was not so
simple as I tried to start defender and it would not start had software 577 error.   I checked the registry and found I could not change the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\windows Defender key stuff as I had no permissions to it ?   System did and trusted installer but not Administrators.
I had to retake control of ownership of the keys DisableAntiSpyware & DisableAntiVirus  and then go to malwarebytes.com and get their removal tool as the software
would not completely remove.   It was only then I had any control.  I feared some other stuff might be messed up so I restored from the backup before I ran the your software.
Now I am not sure why these things happen ?

Never had those errors happen when I have ran it, so not sure. Lets see if we can find out

First what version of windows was it ran on?

Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit

The registry and file permissions repairs are ran and put back to the defaults, and the windows defender registry key was put back to its default, I took a screen shot of mine to show what the default is

My permissions tool use to give you full control which fixed a lot of things, but in Windows 8, when you do that will completely break the app store. Windows 8 is the easiest OS to break. So the only way I could properly fix Windows 8 with permissions was by restoring the default permissions.

But, I have ran the repair tool on a ton of Windows 8 machines and never got the errors you did, so I am curious what the difference is.

How is everything running right now?

Well mine looked like yours with No administrators or windef   ?

I might add that I have ad-ware Antivirus But it was disabled.

I ran malwarebytes this time which I had not done before which is the only thing I did different this time other then safemode steps

Oh and I afterwards uninstalled malwarebytes and then tried to activate windows defender which is where I noticed something wasn't right as windows defender would not start it instead went to explorer screen.  When I tried to start the service I got Error 577

 I then went and looked up that symptom and found a blurp  http://www.eightforums.com/system-security/35851-windows-defender-won-t-turn.html

When I checked the keys I mention I didn't have permissions to them as no Administrators were part of that.

I actually think this is more of a that version of malwarebytes then your program.

However I wasn't 100% sure so I figured I would post it.

Well it is great that you traced it down to what it was and I am happy it wasnt my program lol

I know the version of malwarebytes that my program downloads is the last version they did before they did version 2.0. 2.0 didnt get good feed back so I stuck with the old one. Was it the old version that did it or is it the newer versions of malwarebytes?

Hello- Have had pretty much the same experience- Running Vista Home Premium 64 bit-
 My USB driver in network adaptors is non-functioning,, registry seems kind of eskew, although, don't know a thing about it.. NVDIA,, GeoForce is messed up, as well as another Network Adaptor,, realtek,.- Have you had any luck repairing.. ? I have been only able to get internet running a cable to box, across the room.. I have downloaded many programs to create logs, fix Reg, delete programs, ETC.. If you have any insight, i would appreciate because I am about to wipe all and start from scratch....Defender disabled, also- Thank you!!!
