Norm@Home 2 Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 I've got an HP Elitebook that had Eset Internet Security on it that suddenly had some kind of serious problem, I wasn't sure if it was virus or malware but both the Eset online Scanner (because the Eset GUI wouldn't open) and Malwarebytes scans came back clean. The problem was that no browser on the computer, neither Edge, Chrome or Firefox would open and if I tried to open them taskmgr would show a running process but the program window would never open. When I booted into safemode and used the Eset uninstaller after that the browsers would again open normally. I tried doing a selective startup with only Microsoft services and tried to reinstall again with the same results, the install gets to 99% and never finishes. Computer runs Windows 10 version 21H2 build 19044.1586 x64. Any ideas how to fix this?
