Windows defender keeps crashing every time I do a scan it will get about 60,000+ and then crash Malewarebytes doesn't find anything,(I even uninstalled malewarebytes still crash) everything is up to date, I have no Java. I don't go to any possible bad websites. this started after I was cleaning out some old stuff in my temps folder, but I only got rid of folder that said they where empty.

anyone know what this could be? :banghead:

If I wait about 1 min. after the crash it goes back to normal

I had something similar a while back.

I tried un-installing both Defender and MS Security Essentials. Then I scanned the pc direct at Microsoft.
MS came up clean with no issues found. So I reinstalled both thinking all was good.
NOT!!!

Nope, didn't work. I had a nasty virus hidden and the best thing I did was buy Kaspersky PURE 3.0.
Kaspersky picked it up and cleaned it out.
And I also bought Malwarebytes which works seamless with Kaspersky.
I am a believer now.

I have to thank the MM (mailman) and a few of the guys here at TPU for nudging me in that direction.

Wow, it didn't slow me down except for the first day and then just a tad. And I expected that to happen. I think it took a little time for it to fully integrate to my systems. I am running it on 2 machines. It comes with a 3 machine license. Once it digested everything it was just as fast as without it.

Sorry you're not happy with it, I sure am.

Update:
Phusius, I see from a different post you made you are running Windows 8.
I am running Windows 7 x 64 bit.
I don't know if Win8 is affecting this and you in any way. More research needed??

One shouldn't be home without it.
