    Windows Defender not stopping fake maleware warning alerts


    To whom it may concern:

    I have been using Windows Defender & run in "S" mode on my new computer and still I get occasionally a fake malware warning \ computer is infected along with a loud siren noise.


    All my security at a glance indicate the green circle with a check mark with the wording: "no action needed".


    Thanks.

    :)
