Four days ago my Windows 10 computer had severe problems: some web pages tabs crashed. When I tried to scan system for viruses using Windows Defender, the antivirus service stops after few minutes. An attempt to install other antivirus failed. Blue screen crash became frequent, total 10 in day, although I had not them in previous 6 months. Offline scan did not reveal any malicious code.
ReplyDeleteI blame Adobe flash player vulnerability, because after the patch was published the system again worked correctly.
If the problems had started after the last Flash Player update rather than days before the recent update, then I might have attributed it to Flash Player. If the BSOD's continue/return, I suggest you consider registering at Sysnative and following the instructions in Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.
