I would remove spybot and adaware. Use malwarebytes instead

You can tick these then tick fix checked. Close browsers. Or use ccleaner and delete them in tools / startup

Teatimer (part of Spybot) maybe stopping MSE. Or something. Since it can block things

If messenger has been uninstalled, you can tick these

What does MSE say, when you try and turn it on?

[lakewoodlady]

I am trying to help someone who has a problem with MSSE not turning green at startup. She has run a scan with Malwarebytes and it found the following: Pum Disabled Security Registry Data Hkey_Local_machine\Software|Microsoft Security. I thought it may have something to do with the problem. Funny, I can't see any reference to Malwarebytes in the logfile.

I will give her your findings and see if it will fix the problem. Many thanks.

According to this

What it detected is not a threat but registry entries that show that your Windows Security Center's notifications are disabled.

This by itself is not dangerous , not malicious

However as that site says if the firewall comes up asking to unblock something as well, thats a different matter. So MSE isnt disabled

[lakewoodlady]

Sorry not to get back sooner. First of all thank you for your advice on the HJT log.
The person I am trying to help has just got back to me and all she's said is that she has removed Spybot and nothing else. (Not Computer literate.)
So, I have asked her questions to find out exactly what she has done. Hopefully she will answer them all. Apparently Malwarebytes had quarantened the suspect file so that is good. She says that MSSE is still not turning green on boot up, so she has to restart the computer, then it changes from red to green.
I have suggested to her to uninstall and then re install it. Will see how that goes.

Cheers LL
