Every time I turn the PC on I am getting 'real time scanning disabled'. I enable it and it reverts within 5 seconds. I can not find the reason. I have tried initiating a chat with a technician, but when I get to the 'chat' button it takes me back to the support home page, so I am hoping someone here can point me
Solved! Go to Solution.
Please restart your computer and check the status stephen . As you told that you used adaware and Iobit check for the traces of these files in the below mentioned locations
For Windows vista\windows 7 :
C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files\Common Files
C:\ProgramData
For Windows XP:
C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files\Common Files
C:\documents& settings\all users\application data
Also delete folder with the name lavasoft which is related to adaware,
If these steps dint work follow the below mentioned step:

Hi stephen,
Do you use any other antivirus softwares in your computer if so you have to uninstall that and restart the computer.
If it doesn`t works then you can try the below mentioned step
The service was already started. I haven't restarted my PC yet. I am not running any other virus protection. Although I have had Adaware and Iobit software running, they are now deleted.
The problem seems to have gone away now since I manually ran update, but it has kept coming back every day.

Welcome ,Stephen keep posting if you have any more issues.
I am having the same problem and very frustrated. When I download the tool and run it I just get the cmd black screen with a blinking cursor and nothing else - is it supposed to do something? I cannot even manually run a scan - it stops mid scan and will not continue.
Hi virushater actually when you run this tool nothing will happen a black window should come and disappear. If you still have the same problem may i know the type of operating system you have.Also i want to know whether you are already getting any spyware alerts.open internet explorer click help->About internet explorer and check the version and cipher strength and reply. Thanks
Looks like I resolved this finally. What I did was turn off Mcaffee - or should I say - I let Mcafee stay off since it turned itself off. I completely uninstalled internet explorer. Then I downloaded SuperAntiSpyware again - ran it and it found 53 issues which it removed. I then was able to finally run my Macafee manual scan which then found 1 issue and removed it. Now all is well. Looks like Mcafee didnt detect these viruses and you need a malware or spyware software to get rid of whatever is causing this.
Figured I would offer this up to see if it works for anyone - beats paying a hefty fee to Mcafee to remove the virus
Try this on safe mode
Download and run the oas-disabled-fix.cmd utility
If dont work uninstall McAfee with MCPR and then in safe mode use Malwarebytes and then install again on safe mode and try the procedure.
