Windows 10 cannot determine status if Trend Micro is running.

Windows 10 Home (64 bit) on Dell Desktop (I5 Processor with 16GB RAM)
Trend Micro Maximum Security (Version 12.0.1226)

Windows Defender Security Center has an error message below:

"Trend Micro Maximum Security is installed as an antivirus provider."

"Status Unavailable, open Trend Micro Maximum Security for information"

I have reinstalled the software two times using

Permission Tool,
Remnant File Remover Tool,
restarted the computer,
and reinstalled Trend Micro.

Hi charleslehman01,

Can we ask what has happened before receiving this problem? For now, please try running this Trend Micro Anti-Threat Toolkit just to check and uninstall any conflicting programs or potentially unwanted programs installed on your PC.

also another issue... I can not reset or change the Master PW and I know the currant PW
I am formally Bugfree Computer Services.

I enter the old PW then enter the new PW, then re enter the new PW and still does not work see jpeg

I am aware of your instructions of how to reset the master PW, I have 90+ PW's stored and I do not want to loose them all.

I think the issue is more with Firefox than TM or though the issue happened after
installing TM PW Manager, theirs some kind of clash between Firefox & TM

I have run Trend Micro Anti-Threat Toolkit (No threats found) and have NO potentially unwanted programs installed on my PC from the list.
Still, the Trend Micro Status is "unavailable" in Windows 10 (under the virus and threat protection (in the Windows Defender Security Center.

I do see that Trend Micro is writing consistently to file mbg.db at ~4,500,000 B/sec

Hi multybizz,

From what I understand, the Trend Micro program sometimes turns off itself. Is that correct? Please open the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab and tick on "Hide All Microsoft Services".

You'll see from there (normally) two services with Trend Micro Inc. as its Manufacturer. Kindly check if those two services are "Running" or "Stopped". If it's stopped, please apply the hotfix on this link.

Please advise if you encounter the same issue.

I applied the hotfix and Windows Defender Security Center shows that Virus & Threat protection that the status of Trend Micro is "unavailable" and the icon shows a red "X" and "actions needed".
The two Trend Micro services are running.

Hi charleslehman01

Then if the Hot-fix did nit fix the problem:

I quote the TM solution again:

1. Uninstall Trend Micro Security using the Diagnostic Toolkit

Press the Windows Button and letter "R" both on your keyboard at the same time to open the Run Console
Once the Run Console is open, type: supporttool
Click OK
Doing that will open the Trend Micro Diagnostic Toolkit. Once open, go to (C) Uninstall and then click on "1. Uninstall Software"
Wait for the uninstall process to finish then restart the computer when prompted

2. Run the Remnant File Remover Tool

Please access the article for the instructions: Using the Trend Micro Remnant File Remover Tool

3. Reinstall Trend Micro Security
Select the corresponding installer file below:

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Tom

Hi charleslehman01

Try to do it my way but follow it step by step.
Try it 1 time more, uninstall all TM products, reboot.
Download Registrar Home edition after install start the program, Click on home version.
http://www.resplendence.com/download/RegistrarHomeV8.exe
Follow this:

Image httpsd2r1vs3d9006apcloudfrontnets3_images1743889RackMultipart20180801-68016-ocmfaz-2018-08-01_19_41_42-Clipboard_inlinepng1533146143

So 2 times the whole registry cleaning.
Then do a search with MS, also 2 times the same way on your C:\ drive for all the TM files.

I have found the following same errors over and over in the event viewer system logs.

EventID 26
Application popup: Microsoft Visual C++ RuntimeLibrary : Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\AMSP\coreServiceShell.exe

R6025
- pure virtual function call

and then get:

EventID 7034
The Trend Micro Solution Platform service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 17 time(s).

Seems to happen every 5-10 minutes and Trend Micro icon goes away and then returns.

Very Strange.
