    Can't remove threat in windows security Remediation incomplete


    so I had windows security on full scan once, and it found a win32/keygen. i tried to take action on it, but it always takes long and then it says "remediation incomplete, status failed"i cleared the protection history using the program data -> windows -> windows defender, but every time i had a full scan the win32/keygen came back and removal attempts always end in "remediation incomplete, status failed"i used windows safety scanner to see if the detection was a false positive or not, but it detected the exact same thing and only "partially removed" so i suspect the malware is hidden ver

    Windows Security Protection History-remediation incomplete

    Windows 10 security found two trojans that are now listed in my protection history as severe-remediation incomplete. And yet my virus and threat protection shield icon has a green checkmark. What if anything should I do? Why does it say remediation incomplete?

    A manual scan by Malwarebytes identifies zero threats.

    Windows Security Protection History-remediation incomplete

    I went to a website on Edge chromium. The was an audio message saying my computer was locked. It turned out it wasn't. I closed the browser, and opened Windows security. Two trojans were listed in protection history as severe - status:failed - remediation
    incomplete. A further scan by malware bytes revealed no threats. The two trojans were Skeeyah.A!rfn and FakeAlert!MSR

    Can't remove threat in windows security Remediation incomplete

    Remediation Incomplete Message

    Remediation Incomplete Message

    I had a Trojan threat that indicated a virus was in Temporary files. I ran CCleaner to clear temporary files. I then checked Windows Security and it said my Virus and Threat Protection was ok. See screenshot.

    Later, I rechecked Protection History and found the Remediation Incomplete message. See screenshot. I read that sometimes this message can appear after clearing a virus threat.

    I ran CCleaner again and also Malwarebytes. I also did a Full scan on Windows Defender. In all scans they did not show I had any virus issues.

    So, how should I treat the Remediation Incomplete message?

    Thanks,
    Jerry

    Windows 10
