Whenever I start my PC Microsoft Security Essentials does not want to start and turns itself off automatically. I've tried every advise I could find on the internet. To no avail.
System Restore does not work either. If I want to set my pc to a previous restore point, I get an error-message. Moreover, whenever I try to install an anti-virusprogramme, I get error- messages. Does anybody know a solution for these problems?
