Real Time Scanning Keeps Switching Off

Can anyone help me please? I received a message to say my computer is at risk because real time scanning is switched off. I have switched it back on but it simply turns off again. Thining this may be down to a virus I tried to runa virus scan but that errors out, can anyone advise me what I can do please?

Many Thanks

J

Dinz,

Apologies for not replying sooner but I've been unable to log onto my home PC at the moment and have to wait until today to access the internet.

I downloaded and ran mvt and selected the option to remedy the errors that were shown, this thankfully corrected the error and real time scanning now works.

However I now have another problem, it's 50:50 whether the mvt correction process caused this or whether it is totally unrelated but my intel wireless network connector is disconnected and all attempts to reconnect it have failed. I beleive the driver is corrupt and will download a new version and see whether this resolves the problem.

I guess in answer to your question, 'Yes' the original issue has been resolved.

Thanks

Jayne
