I am plagued with MSN Dot Com loading up every time i switch on my computer and reading up on it all i see is a lot of talk about:

Do you have Mozilla or firefox.

I do not know what they are?

All i know is that i have windows 10, and Google Chrome and that i have Edge but do not use edge i use Google Chrome.

I cannot find anyway of switching this page off every time i put my computer on.

It loads with MSN dot Com and asks "Do i want to accept cookies" Which i don't.

How do i stop this from loading every time i switch on my computer?

This is what loads up

Hi Don.

The message has disappeared again altogether.

I think i misunderstood it.

It was not "

"To protect your online ID"It was "You must sign in again"

Sorry for disappearing. If the message comes back, let me know.

I will uninstall AVG.

Changing my password did not work with Windows Live Mail.

I fixed the Microsoft account, by typing in my pin number after it said it needs fixing last night.

After doing so it said "all accounts are working correctly"

I go to bed, wake up, put my computer on log into windows live mail and as usual it says "To protect your online ID" Message.

It all began after i updated my Microsoft account to include a mobile number.

I waited 30 days for it to be updated and this is where it all began.

The phone i have is not android, it is windows 10, i am confused as to what is going on here?

  1. This isn't related to the phone.

Was AVG uninstalled yesterday?

    To be honest with you AVG is beginning to annoy me.

    It keeps coming up telling me things like "My ISP Number is exposed and i am being tracked, then other items.

    It then asks me to pay for it.

    It never used to be like that.

    I changed the Microsoft Password to see what happens.

    The Emails worked ok today.

    I will see what happens tomorrow.

    If i uninstall AVG will windows Defender reactivate, i never realised that. 

    Where i have the entry ""wdNivWSvc  Stopped (This entry is called Microsoft defender antivirus network)

    I tried to switch it back on, it would not switch over to "Running"

    It remains on "Stopped"

    Is this because of AVG?

    I found the services Tab.

    It is something i have never really seen before.

    Here are the listings to do with AVG Avast and CCleaner and Windows Defender

    AVG Antivirus Running

    AVG Tools Running

    avgbISDAgent Running

    AvgWscReporter Running.

    There is nothing in the list to do with Avast?

    Avast is not mentioned.

    There is nothing listed to do with CCleaner 

    Windows Defender has some entries listed as i am guessing wdi and wd.

    wdiServiceHost Running (This entry is called Diagnostic service host)

    wdiSystemhost Running (This entry is called Diagnostic system host)

    wdNivWSvc  Stopped (This entry is called Microsoft defender antivirus network)

    OK. AVG is free, so if you uninstall it and decide to reinstall it, it won't cost you anything, right?

    AVG and other antivirus programs do so much more today than they used to do. And a privacy or anti tracking or other feature might be signing you out of Windows Live Mail.

    I'd suggest that you uninstall AVG and let Windows Defender reactivate itself, which it should do after AVG is uninstalled. Run Windows Defender/Microsoft Defender for a day or two. See if the signing out problem stops.

    These aren't Windows Defender.

    wdiServiceHost Running

    wdiSystemhost Running 

    wdNivWSvc  Stopped

    A few hours after uninstalling AVG, if there hasn't been some sign that Windows Defender is running, check Task Manager for WinDefend or other entries that tell you that it is running.

    See this article for instructions on uninstalling AVG
