Has anyone heard of "Microsoft Nework Security"
The tech I called for help with my Avira installation, after examining my computer, found 5 things wrong with it.
Tons and tons of Error Messages, Warnings, at the Event Viewer. (like over 7,000.)
According to him, Avira, is not "comaptible with Windows", because it wasn't made by Microsoft. MNS, on the other hand, is made by MS, so it's designed to work with windows, and it will take care of all the errors, he mentioned to me, not all of them are listed here.
All for the low price, of $249.99. (one time payment. ) Here's the thing, Once he'd install that, he'd uninstall, Avira, and Malwarebytes. He also said there was a difference between the trial version of Malwarebytes, and the paid version. The trial version is the paid version for 30 days, not that I told him that, but I should have...
I can't find any informantion on "Microsoft Network Security" on the internet.
So what do you think?
Thanks in advance,
CotS

Be warned I am currently having troubles with Antimalwarebytes Antimalware on Windows 10 Creators update.
It did not happen in the original 15063 build but with a later CU Windows decided to disable Defender in sake to promote Anti-Malware to the primary 3rd party AV solution and there is nothing i can do. The Defender functionality is currently broken and disabled and there is nothing I can do.
I am in touch with the Malwarebytes support.

Karl, I have the same issue with MalwareBytes and an open case. They sent me a newer version of the MBAM cleanup tool (mb-clean-2.4.1.1007 - http://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/mb_clean) it wasn't available on their website yet and not sure if it has been updated or not since then, but attached if you want to compare and give it a try. They had me completley remove everything, reboot... Windows Defender took over and updated andthen I reinstalled the latest MBAM from scratch again.
That did the trick... well for a few days, then MBAM was listed as my AV again, but somehow, Windows Defender is showing up as my AV now and not MalwareBytes so I'm still keeping an eye on it. I submitted some additional logs from mb-check-3.0.5.1004.exe and FRST64.exe as requested a few days ago, but haven't heard anything back from them.

Funny, a guy named Günter requested the same to be done from me.
I have notified him about your case and that this happens on all of my Malwarebytes 15063.138 Windows installations, so I hope they don't come around with an excuse :)
Imho I think that Microsoft destroyed it by taking Malwarebytes into the list of AV vendors, but this all does not explain why Defender cannot be started anymore. The mb clean tool at least restored the corrupted views in the security center (with some new upcoming UI glitches).
I am curious how they are going to fix this. Here is my Feedback App post for this: https://aka.ms/Aulws8

btw, I was offered to use mb-clean-2.4.1.1015.exe. Seems they are working fast on this tool :)

At least they're actively workingn on it and trying to get it ironed out - hope they get it sorted soon though.
For the past 3-4 days, Malwarebytes and Windows Defender have been playing nice for me. I'm tempted to finally update NG 6116 to the current version now.

so you say that both are active and working? Then you are ahead of me. :/

At least for now, it seems to be working again - it reverted back one time after running the cleanup, but magically fixed itself again. It's been "good" for a couple of days now.
