The Anti Malware Service executable has stopped working.

Asked By Ellen T Johnson 0 points N/A Posted on - 12/28/2014

I have an HP Pavilion m6 with Microsoft Windows 7 running on in it. Every now and then a message pops up that the Anti Malware Service has stopped working and the Windows starts looking for a solution to the problem. I have Microsoft Security Essentials with no other Anti-Virus. Is this a problem with Security Essentials? How can I fix the issue?
