Bitdefender is notorious both for leaving leftover files behind and being hard to remove. Since you ran the BD uninstaller tool Revo probably will not find anything but the Revo Junk Files might find...

This one also helps, and it can be used together with the Chrome Font Super Enhancer.

Font Rendering Enhancer - Chrome Web Store

Thanks, I added it to Chrome and it does work great. Gray text is now darker and easier to read. The extension also works in Edge.

Thanks.

I use Bitdefender too. When I first downloaded and installed it I got a red X on my MS Security icon that was prompting me to update Bitdefender. I did the update manually as an admin and the red X...

Thanks, I will give that a try. The dark color is not a deal breaker at all, but if possible I would rather have a regular background. I don't use dark mode very much but I can get used to this one...

Hello all,

I have not used FF in a long time, I just re-downloaded v. 99.0.1 today and so far it is very good. I only have one problem with it, in my favorites list and also the right click menu...

Mine says no providers too. I am pretty sure that just refers to no internet/browser protection being included in Windows Security. MS Smart Screen is supposed to take care of that to avoid phishing...

If you are running the real time paid version of Malwarebytes (also known as MBAM, for Malware Bytes Anti Malware), you have to go into the settings on MBAM and uncheck the setting for "Register MBAM...

You have leftover Norton files on your computer. Anytime Windows sees that it will think you have a different AV and will not allow Defender to start. As others have suggested, run the dedicated...

I am no expert but I have been following this thread. I will chime in with what I think. I re-read the entire thread and it seems to me OP has a lot of things going on with malware, pups, whatever....

I had the same problem with Amazon in Edge when I was Christmas shopping. I could not click to go back normally, had to go through the history to get to any previous page, it was a pain to use but...

Windows Defender works fine combined with ConfigureDefender set on High. I also use Ublock Origin and the Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension to keep ads, tracker, bad sites and other junk off my...

Sounds like Defender is seeing the MBAM as a third party antivirus. That is why you are seeing the error message that MBAM is on. Defender turns off if there is any third party AV installed. This is...

You can get the simple download at majorgeeks:

Also here at softpedia:

Download ConfigureDefender 3.0.1.0

Just be sure to run the exe in admin and...

I have not much "proof" of Windows Security/Defender's...

Defender is fine, the various online AV test sites have been scoring Defender just as good/same high levels of protection as the paid and free third party AV's. Pair it with the free...

Things like this are one of the main reasons I got rid of Avast. The protection is still excellent but the scareware/nag screens just got to be too much for me. AVG was even more persistent. The new...

Another vote for MS Defender. I also use the added protection of Configure Defender tool on the High setting.

I also use the new Avast Essentials. I used Avast Free before this and did not like Essentials when it was first released. I didn't care for the GUI or how they removed some of the custom settings...

I guess they must have changed MBAM since the last time I used it, I had Premium back then and was able to set that Security Center setting to off. Running the free version should not affect Defender...

You can go into the settings on Malwarebytes, put a check mark in the box next to "Never register Malwarebytes with the Windows Security Center". That should allow Windows Defender to run normally....

I will be starting a new job later this month, it is 100% remote, working from home. My new employer does not provide computers or any other hardware. I will have to supply my own computer, monitor,...

I used Avast Clear too when I removed it, I ran it in safe mode, it got rid of Avast well enough to turn Defender back on but I still had Avast junk files that I never knew existed until today.

Thanks very much to OP forposting this. I had never heard of Everything before I read this. I downloaded and ran it myself and found some leftover files from Avast too and a couple other programs.
