    Can't Start actions / Remove Malicious Software


    Hi, I need your help.I can't remove this virus called Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.A!ml and HackTool:Win32/Keygen!MSR.If I click "Start actions", it does nothing and the virus is still there.I tried using Microsoft Defender Antivirus offline scan but still not removed.When Microsoft Defender scan my device, it always says "No new threats were found".I hope you could help. I would be so appreciated if you could help me because that virus already hacked my social media accounts.If you need more informations I'm gonna answer it.Sorry for bad grammar.

    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool

    Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool no longer appears in my Windows Start list of programs. I believe it was there last week.

    Looking at the Windows Update History:

    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 x64 Edition - January 2018 (KB890830)

    Successfully installed on 1/10/2018

    Where is it? Why doesn't it appear in the Windows Start? It does not appear in the Programs and Features (Control Panel).

    The Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) is not "built into Windows 10".

    "Microsoft generally delivers MSRT with Windows Update the second Tuesday of the month. The standalone version available on this* page is delivered at the same time.
    "
