My computer freezes minutes after windows defender start scanning.
As a result i have to restart, and vista assumed it experienced errors so
the window defender starts automatically to scan again, then my computer
freezes again...
i tried close windows defender, then computer works fine. but i don't like
the idea of stopping the program forever...but if i do not stop it, the cycle
would go on forever so i can't use my computer at all.
 
Hello Fupu,

First clear up your Temp File/Cache, Restart the computer and try again.
Best and easier to use - CCleaner.

Delete the contents of the Microsoft Internet Explorer cache folder,
cookies, history, and the operating system temporary folder

Note, uncheck Yahoos Toolbar
Download the basic version via

The basic version does not contain the disgusted Toolbar

Have you tried manually scanning in safe mode?

Try a quick scan

I recommend downloading and installing MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) and
SUPERAntiSpywaÑe (SAS).

Do a full scan with MalwaÑeBytes' and SUPERAntiSpywaÑe.
