Unable to access Virus and Threat protection
Hi, I have similar problem (refer to the link above) after uninstalling Norton Security Ultra (pre-downloaded from my laptop). I am currently using Acer Nitro 5 AN515-43 running on Windows 10 Home
As I've read the whole thread, one thing I've noticed is that:
reg.exe automatically closes.
I have also tried downloading the Norton Remove n' Reinstall (Remove only option).
My problem still persists, I wish to disable the Real-time protection (msmpeng.exe) which eats unusually large memory ranging from 80-150 MB.
I have considered downloading Malwarebytes and do the according steps, as well as downloading Microsoft Safety Scanner. Both showed no detection of any unwanted programs or any suspicious files.
Before anything else, I've done a system restore on my laptop just a month ago due to SrtTrail.txt BSOD. I believe Norton Security Ultra causes this problem that I have. My laptop is strictly used for school and casual gaming. All games are downloaded through Steam and school files are done through Microsoft Office tools (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
