I have problem with Win Dfender turning off on its own occasionally. Another problem is when I shut down, it says another user is logged on (admin) but I did not log in to the account.

Thanks for reminding me the rules! Now I know why I get no replies :lol:

Hello dwdfscvs,

My apologies for the delay in getting to your topic. Please post a fresh set of FRST logs..

  • Right-click on FRST64.exe and select Run as administrator.
  • The tool might update. Please allow it to do so.
  • Do not check or uncheck any of the boxes.
  • Select Scan.
  • When the scan is over two windows will open, FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
  • Please post the contents of both logs in your next reply.



-----------------------------------------
In your next reply, I would like to see..
  • FRST.txt
  • Addition.txt


Please post each log separately to prevent it being cut off by the forum post size limiter.
Check each after you've posted it to make sure it's all present, if any log is cut off you'll have to post it in sections....
