1226179 2011-08-25 22:21:00 So we have not had the internet for awhile due to financial reasons. Now we are back up and running, especially since I am back in school. So I noticed the computer has been running slow on some pages. On other pages it is fine, and others it says internet explorer is having problems closing windows. I use microsoft security essentials for my virus protector (the free one) but it came up saying it was not working. When I look at it, the firewall is on, automatic updating on, but when I get to malware protection is says check settings. For virus protection It says Microsoft security essentials reports that it is turned off and has not provided security center with a program to fix this issue. Then it says for spyware and other malware protection I am using Windows Defender and it is okay. Does anyone know what I should do? Also, I used to be able to click the little castle which would bring up security essentials so I could run scans, but now it is gone.

As for the blue screen, the area that says the error, gave this code
0x000000D1 and then in parenthesis other numbers.

I really need to get this fixed as I have college work to do and I am not great with computers. Please help, if you can. TIA

1226180 2011-08-25 22:26:00 Go here and run the online scan:
go.eset.com

Then grab Malwarebytes and see what it picks up:
http://malwarebytes.org/

One of them will find something. STOP 0x000000D1 is usually a driver error, or malware / virus.

1226181 2011-08-25 22:36:00 So I need to download these and run them? angchick (16026)
1226182 2011-08-25 22:39:00 It says to click on this add on to the computer, is it safe to do that? angchick (16026)
1226183 2011-08-25 22:41:00 Malwarebytes you need to download and run, make sure you set it to do a complete scan

The eset online scanner is online. (although you may have to download something. someone else will tell you)

I would add
www.nirsoft.net
This utility gives you more useful info about the Blue screen

1226184 2011-08-25 22:52:00 Based on my own personal experience, the MSE AntiVirus module will not run if there is another AV on the computer. In my case it detected the residuals of a popular on-line scan (Eset) which wasn't even running and renaming the offending folder didn't fix it, but deletion did, and MSAV started immediately after a reboot.

Apparently it doesn't like bed-sharing with the opposition.

1226185 2011-08-25 22:56:00 If you get bluescreenview, in the link Morgenmuffel posted. See if it shows a file as the cause (after you install / run). Tell us what the file is Speedy Gonzales (78)
1226186 2011-08-25 22:56:00 Okay, let me make sure I am understanding everything right. I need to download all three of those and run them?? angchick (16026)
1226187 2011-08-25 23:00:00 Microsoft's AV program, should have disabled Windows defender, when you installed it. Get bluescreenview first install then run it. Tell us what file it shows as the cause Speedy Gonzales (78)
1226188 2011-08-25 23:05:00 do I download the one that says in zip file, or full install?

I am sorry about all this, like I said, I am not good with computers. I appreciate the help
