I uninstalled RAV Endpoint Protection and as soon as I did Windows Defender popped up saying that LSA is off.

Apparently they don't have anything in common.
I uninstalled RAV Endpoint Security and the error didn't come back up.

It's apparently a PUP

I am setting up a new PC, so could have been any number of programs, but I thin it was MEmu - an Android Emulator.
It's the only one that will connect to my LAN so that I can use one specific program - SIM Dashboard. I am legally blind and I use it to help me with my driving type games (FS22 and ATS/ETS2) so I can see mt speed and stuff.

But yeah, I did figure out that they were PUPs as I did more research into it.

Also got it by mistake along with another software.
I contacted the developer Reasonlabs and they confirmed to be legit and that the software is certified by Microsoft. They sent me this tutorial -

Previously I had other antivirus installed on my PC so I kept it and unisistalled the new RAV one easily like any other app installed on windows.
btw, I kept their VPN 😉
