Norton360 Detecting Virus From regsvr32.exe, what do I do?
by Guest Sayfullah Eid- 0 replies

So I have recently reset my PC, and have installed Windows 10. About 2 weeks later, Norton continuously is deleting a file called ragbo.dll. So I did a Full Scan of my computer to see where this was coming from, to find some kind of windows service to be the origin of this file. I tried searching online for a solution, but they are all for previous windows versions. https://extremetechsupport.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/984e901a32995005a02bb05f5adc81c5._.png https://extremetechsupport.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/812c982b6220a8fd201c7d6b3a63cec5._.png Continue reading...

It only started happening lately though, the software is DIY K150 PIC programmer software and the programmer is the PIC K150 USB programmer. Please assist in information that would setup Windows Defender to request before deleting suspected malware. Thanks and regards, AJ Saays.

Windows Defender Real-time Protection will not turn on
by Guest Scippiriddic- 0 replies
- 374 views
Hello, So after first using VIPRE antivirus and then BitDefender I have decided to use Windows Defender. After uninstalling my previous AV program I realized that Windows Defender Real-time Protection will not turn on. On the Windows Defender start page it states "Windows Defender Real-time protection is off because you are using another AV program. Uninstall your existing AV program to turn on Windows Defender." I currently do not have another AV program installed. I suspect it is due to a messy uninstall of VIPRE Antivirus, however I was very specific in following all steps to manually uninstall VIPRE using the registry editor. I have searched through the com…
