Somewhere around the first of the year I installed a small SSD boot drive with a larger hard drive for everything else, and did a clean install of everything, including Malwarebytes.
Since then, occasionally, I will guess approximately once every 2-3 weeks, Windows has failed to boot and I have gotten a gray Microsoft dialog box over a blue screen telling me that it did not work and should it look for a solution?
About half of the time, it finds a solution and boots properly, and half the time I have to pull the plug and hard-start it. It basically always works the second time, either way.
Afterwards, the Malwarebytes database is always corrupted and needs to be downloaded again.
I updated Malwarebytes regularly and did a full scan (approximately once a week), and most of the time it did not find any problems.
I am also running Avast and use the Windows Defender.
PS - I never eat fried chicken around the computer.
