    Repeated notification of a threat.


    I have scanned my computer a hundred times but a threat named PUA:Win32/InstallCore.M!sms is again and again popping up and a message regarding this and App:MEMUSetup is popping there to remove this threat.

    I even ran a Microsoft Security Scan there also I couldn't find any thing and my pc was safe, but this message stays forever. I have also selected the remove option to remove those threats but then too it is showing up.


    Please anyone help me?

    Thank you,

    Labeeb Khan.

    :)

    (SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

    Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

    Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

    Repeated Notifications

    Hi David,

    I realize that you get repeated notification pop up on your Windows 10 pc. I will try to help you with this issue.

    Some problems can be fixed by signing out of your account and then signing back in. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and select Sign out. Once you’ve signed out, sign back in to your account.

    Follow these steps to check if that helps:


    • Press “Windows key + I” to get the Settings screen.

    • Click on “System” and click on “Notifications & Actions”.

    Make necessary changes under “Show notifications from these apps” to check if that helps.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

    Repeated notification of a threat.

    Windows defender false positive - forced to allow threat

    Windows defender has started to identify C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe as a threat [normally reported as a Trojan Powessere.G]. I use mshta.exe to run an hta custom MsgBox - I have been hoping to keep using my current CustomMsgBox tool [batch file calling a vbs-hta file] until later this year when I hope to have had enough time to replace it with a PowerShell alternative.

    Windows defender's notification lets me "allow the threat" but that seems to me to be a bigger security hole than is necessary - it will now ignore a potentially real intrusion when all I want to run is a genuine Windows component. My immediate problem is fixed but I would prefer to fix the false positive using the exclusions list.

    I cleared the 'Allowed threats history' so I could use the exclusions list instead. I added C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe to the file exclusions list and I checked that it had taken properly by checking the exclusions list both in the UI & in the Registry. But the exclusion made no difference, it continued to detect and block the exe.

    I have repeated the attempt several times [by clearing the allowed threats list & exclusions list beforehand] and the results are the same every time
    - allowing the threat works,
    - using the exclusions list has no effect.

    I studied the relevant tutorial but have not spotted an error in what I have been doing - Add or Remove Windows Defender Exclusions

    Does anybody with experience of using the exclusions list to counter false positives have any suggestions for me?
