Suddenly in the past few days Microsoft defender AND Norton protection have started malfunctioning. Defender won't even initialize and Norton will run but not autoconnect to update. I have run AVG which found Obfustat.amz which after some research found to be a non-issue? I also ran AVG rootkit with no problems found. I also ran Spyboy with usual spyware which was deleted. But more things are happening now.... below is my hijack this log....pls help!


Thanks

Azriel, you MUST remove one of your resident AV services. One is all you may run, cos they interfere.

Since I got this problem I have been trying to turn off Norton b/c its only a 30day subscription anyways....but there doesn't seem to be an easy off button. Should I just turn it off in the start up area of spybot so on the next restart it doesn't come on?


-Az.

OK i have uninstalled Norton - it asked me after finishing if I wanted to have Windows firewall up - I stated yes b/c windows defender has been disabled by whatever is wrong with my comp.

Do i need it up if I have AVG/spybot/spywareblaster running? As after I put it up I seem to be much slower on the net esp. with downloading the info fr: Norton to finish un-installing it.


Thank you for your help.

-Az.

You NEED a firewall. windows is ok, but a proper one would be Zonealarm, Kerio or Comodo.... check em out.

You can get Comodo from the link in my signature below. I have used it for several months with no problem.

I'll check those out - I was always told if I was behind a router that a firewall was more optional than a necessity. What is your opinion on that?

Also if I install Comodo will I need to turn off Windows firewall?

How do those logs look - anything in there to explain why Windows defender cr@pped out n me and what is your feeling on that?


Thx for your help.

-D.

If you install another firewall it will turn of windows firewall automatically. Nothing to stop you checking though - you should only have one.
Log is clean... You could fix this waster...

But you are running Vista - this is not the forum for it and I am Vista ignorant [well, at least beyond the point of knowing that I do not want it on my machine...]
Cheers.

oh my gosh i am such a n00b. I'll re-post there...sorry
