How to Fix: Malware and Spyware Protection Malfunction. Please restart.

Neo14000 · 2024-01-03T14:29:35+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

For some time now, I've been getting an alert on my Policy Manager console, with this message: "Malware and Spyware Protection Malfunction. Please restart." I've checked the machine remotely and it seems that Windows Defender is still activated, but as soon as I deactivate it, it reactivates after restart. Do you know a way to deactivate it permanently, or could the problem be coming from somewhere else?

Thanks

Have a nice day!
