Hardenning errors, invalid malformed path

Post by rickierich »

Trying to do virtualmachine virtualbox so I can rest a gamen and debug it.

WHY?
The whole file is attached.


The initial error is in the image.
all the information is there.

I have enabled virtualization as you need to in the latest version, allegedly and I have no reason to believe otherwise.

I see plenty of unnecessary paranoid third party AV stuff in that log. You'd better have a read of FAQ: Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues.

I appeared to fix it with, sfc /scannow which couldnt complete at first, then I ran dism.exe /online cleanup-image /Restorehealth. or words to that effect. It took a while and hung on 62% for ages, then after I ran sfc /scannow and it corrected the errors or restorehealth did. The AV stuff is just your standard antivirus today, I had already uninstalled trusteer stuff. but it sort of works now.

No, it really isn't. If it was standard then it would be built into Windows. This isn't 1998, Windows 10 doesn't need help from third party AV.

So kaspersky should be shut off, or unistalled to help things install better. I imagine the speed bump would be quite high if I could just switch it off. Thats all I have.

You could temporarily uninstall (not just disable) Kaspersky, to see if Virtualbox runs. (if not please post another zipped hardening log.)

Windows 10 has built-in AV that works quite well, because it is built into Windows and doesn't have to fight Windows like other AV has to. Of course, good backups help if a baddie does get through, as in the case with all AV.
