Things I have tried:
[ ]Ran the MGADiag.exe program, which verified Windows is genuine with no problems.
[ ]Gave the data.dat file full permissions for the 'Everyone' user. From this thread.
[ ]Gave same permissions to the MsseWat.dll and LegitLib.dll in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\ as suggested in this other thread.
[ ]I have uninstalled (from command prompt with /u) and reinstalled Microsoft Security Essentials.
[ ]I ran a full Malwarebytes Antimalware scan with no results.
