Hello,
Since I purchased this model "Inspiron 15z 5523 CPU i7-5537U
It came with McAfee installed, The HDD was only one partition named as OS (C:) but I did spilt into two partitions using AOEMEI partition manager, I did Windows Version Upgrade from 8 to 8.1
After that untill today "Windows Defender" wont start and sometimes when I turn on my computer, I get warning in Action Center I check it it tells me Windows Defender is Off I turn it on, it turns on for seconds and then tells me "Potentially harmfull Spyware detected" and when I click "Clean PC" Windows Defender refuses to perform the action and tells me "The Service has been stopped and isn't monitoring your PC"..
However, When I do Spyware Scan with McAfee, it doesn't detect any Spyware on my machine.
My questions now and please someone answers me because this is quite annoying since I didn't do anything bad to the machine....
1- Which Spyware software is stronger? McAfee or Windows Defender?
2- Why is issue happening "Windows Defender stops and not monitoring my PC"?
Thanks.
