Anyone ever had this problem?
Microsoft Security Essentials hangs when trying to run a full scan, can only be exited from task manager, then can't be opened again without restarting the computer. If I try to run a full scan in safe mode, it still hangs, although it lets me close it without resorting to the task manager; it just won't finish scanning.
Chkdsk says there's nothing wrong with either my ssd or my hdd, Malware Bytes runs all the way through (at least in safe mode; haven't tried it in normal mode yet) and finds nothing.
It may or may not be related, but the computer will also only enter safe mode from msconfig; trying to get there from restart -> F8 only offers disk repair and normal start (arrow keys freeze, so it goes straight into disk repair), causes it to claim that the computer could not boot, and insist on running disk repair, which finds nothing and tries to run system restore. But it can boot; it boots fine as long as you don't try to look for boot options; I can turn it off and on all I want. It just gets delusional if I start looking for boot options.
