I have been having a problem that may or may not have something to do with
Windows Defender. I have been trying to narrow it down, but it is not
something that I want to deliberately repeat, so I have a wait and see
approach. The issue is this: The last 2 times that I did a Windows system
restore were after I installed WinDefend. Both times, I discovered corrupted
componets in my McAfee anti-virus program after the restore. Once, the html
component was corrupted and scan would stop midway with a error message. The
second time, the active shield component was corrupted and VirusScan would
not even open. This may just be an issue with my PC or with McAfee VirusScan.
A friend suggested that something may have interferred with the restore
process and necessary registry changes. He suggested that it might be Windows
Defender. I have no specific indications Defender is the cause, but have
there been any similar reports anywhere?
