    Default Runtime error 217 at 500E8338

    I am running Spybot S&D 2.4.40 on Windows 8.1. I consistently receive a Runtime error 217 at 500E8338 upon system boot. I uninstalled Spybot, rebooted, and did not receive the error. I have performed this procedure twice with the same results. I reloaded Spybot in safemode, performed a complete system scan, and rebooted. Once again, I received the same runtime error. Please help.

    Which edition of Spybot do you have,free,home,pro?
    If you could locate the error in Event Viewer,that should give you more info about it.There are starting event viewer instructions for Windows 8 when you scroll down on this site,if you need them:

    When you locate the error,if you doubleclick it,there should be a Copy button at the bottom.Could you please paste it here?

    Default Windows Defender Won't Start

    I'm not sure if this is related to the Runtime error, but what I found seems to be more serious. I have thousands of errors involving the Windows Defender trying to start, but not able to. Below is a copy of one of the thousands of error messages.

    Default More Information

    I'm running the Home Edition of SBS&D. Also, when I try to turn Windows Defender, I get error messages indicating that Defender may be corrupted.

    Could you give me the error you get when you try to turn on Windows Defender,and it says it might be corrupted?Or,better yet,maybe you could take a screenshot of the error and attach the screenshot here.

    How is the computer,besides the error on system boot and the problems with Windows Defender?Any noticeable problems,etc.?

    Default Windows Defender Problem

    The following is the error message upon attempting to start the Windows Defender Service:

    Windows could not start the Windows Defender Service on Local Computer.

    Error 577: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.

    Overall, the computer seems to be running fine. Windows does lock up about once/week and that is relatively new.

    I have the same Error as above pop up all the time. Is there a way a geek can get and UNDERSTAND how to repair, slowly, one step at a time and simple language. Thank You.

    Angry Same Error

    I am running Windows 8.1 and starting getting the same error. I can disable live protection and do not have the error. A fix would be nice. If not I guess I wasted my money.
