Windows 8 + antivirus = black screen

Question

Windows

Hello everyone, I decided to try windows 8, everything would be fine, but after installing the antivirus, I reboot, enter the account password and ... everything, a black screen. tried Avast, Comodo. All are declared compatible with Win 8. Has anyone encountered this? How to decide?

Answer 1

But why do you need an antivirus? The built-in + UAC is enough, unless you download any garbage of obviously dubious quality (although Defender will most likely detect it).

Answer 2

For almost two years, when I transferred everyone in the company to MSE and configured the WSUS server to update all working machines daily, even on machines on which users have administrator rights - programmers, service engineers - not a single infection, although before that support the engineer went once or twice a day to one of the users to clean the PC from viruses, lockers and other slag.

Answer 3

Microsoft's free antivirus Security Essential is built into Windows 8 and is now referred to within the system as Windows Defender . The problem most likely occurs due to an antivirus software conflict. Try disabling Windows Defender if possible. I haven't tried. With the Avira antivirus , the problems you describe do not occur.

Answer 4

Recently encountered such a problem, but only with Symantecom, gave out a blue screen after installation. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to solve it either, although we have a corporate version, and compatibility with windows 8 is also declared.

Answer 5

I tried it on another computer, it worked without problems, now I sin on iron
