    Are VHD's malware scanned?


    When I mount a .VHD, there does not seem to be any HD activity from a malware scan. If I invoke the scan manually against the VHD, then I see the activity from the scan in Perf Mon. I don't see any log entries that say a scan was done.

    Are VHD's scanned and how can I verify if they are?

    Hi Rob,

    You don't need to pay for help removing the virus/malware. You can get
    free     help by specially- trained, malware removal experts on any one of a number of malware support forums.

    So if José's suggestion doesn't clear things up, I suggest you post on either one of these forums. They also use special tools to check various locations on a system, along with requesting log files. They'll provide step by step guidance until your system's
    clean.

    All the best in getting this infection cleaned up.

    Understood, OldMike. I will keep your suggestion in mind. I always appreciate suggestions from those who know more than I do. I think the Malware did do more than one scan, because I had to approve removal of what it found twice. I don't see Windows Defender on the list of programs. I think it was on there before they redid the software. Pluto TV also disappeared.

    scanned documents

    Hello,

    By default, scans are saved in a Scans folder inside the Pictures. Here are the steps on how to get there:

    • Press Windows and type pictures
    • Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.

    Furthermore, we suggest that you repair your Word application by following the steps on this

    link    .

    Let us know how that turned out for you.
