Windows Defender error code 0x8050800c
by Guest JohnHeinSA- 0 replies
- 745 views
I started receiving this error code while scanning on several of my Windows 10 machines. It started about a week ago and the recommend action to take is to update through Windows Update. I get new definition files, but when I start to run a full scan, I get this error code repeatedly. I searched this code on MS website and saw a number of old posts going back to XP and Win 7. I don't see anything related to Win 10. I don't see an option to uninstall and re-install Defender either. Is there a known problem for this issue and potentially a workaround? This is the version information I have from one of my machines: Antimalware Client Version: 4.10.14393.0 Engine Versio…

Virus transmission to USB thumb drive backup?
by Guest Mat H Nope- 0 replies
- 93 views
I am computer illiterate, but I think I've done my due diligence on researching this topic. I didn't see anything that matched my query. If I categorized this incorrectly in "Topic" and "Solution", I apologize. I believe my computer may have a virus. I am preparing to backup windows 10 to a thumb drive. I am concerned, however, that a virus could be transferred to the thumb drive. I don't want to reformat and then immediately compromise my system again. Is that even possible? Am I being unreasonably fearful? Thank you very much. Continue reading...

I tried to turn on Windows Defender by following the steps that Technology Guru showed and when I tried to start the Windows Defender Network and Windows Defender Services, it always says: "Windows could not start Windows Defender Network Inspection Service service on Local Computer. Error 577: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be a malicious software from an unknown source." I have gotten rid of the software that changed the setting, but it's still giving me that message. How can I get rid of that malicious software…

Allow me to permanently disable windows defender
by Guest Armouredfalcon- 0 replies
- 153 views
Windows defender constantly keeps my disk usage for my laptop at 100% - if windows defender is running or on in the background in any state, my disk is at 100% usage. (the Windows antimalware service) Obviously this has severe repercussions of my laptop being slow and unresponsive because the disk is being used up by something else, along with shortening the disks life. disabling it in the settings only disables it for a "while" and it automatically turns itself back on after a period of time. allow me to disable it permanently - for some reason I don't have permission to change the service to disabled despite being the admin and only account on the comp…

Calls wanting to refund our money for internet security by filling out forms online
by Guest cjclark427- 0 replies
- 140 views
A year ago, my non tech husband was told that this company represented Microsoft and our computer was in danger of internet security. He spent $200. Now someone we cannot understand is calling and saying that their company is going out of business and if we get online and fill out forms they will refund $200. I don't know if this is the same company or not. The man calling us is very hard to understand - Pakistan or Indian maybe. The paperwork that my husband showed me from before is from ABC Repair Tech. I don't know if this is the same company. I cannot understand the gentleman calling. Does anyone know anything about this? Continue reading...

Does anyone have any info on the above listed companies. The only thing I found on Ziff brothers seems to be a big company of investments & Hedge fund. Nothing shows them having anything to do with checking out computers for its performance. ABC seems to have done a good job on my computer, after a full screen virus warning popped up on my computer and telling me that I should not restart my computer or the virus would totally wipe out everything. I could have bought a new computer with the amount I paid them. But I did not want to lose any of my files. Continue reading...
