    Windows Defender does not completely remove PWS:HTML/Irsofraud.C

    https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=PWS:HTML/Irsofraud.C That wasn’t
    much help!

    Windows Defender is part of Win 10 – it cannot be removed from Win10.

    Any new browser extensions that need to be disabled/removed? Based on what is occurring the file is
    possibly in a browser and being "blocked" by the browser before Defender takes any action on the malware file.

    Suggest empty temporary internet files, restart the computer, manually update WD and run a Quick Scan.

    If that doesn’t help try this free scanner:

    If the issues continue suggest follow these steps recommended by Malwaretips.com:

    To remove pop-up ads and malware from Windows 10, follow these steps:

    STEP 1: Scan your computer with
    AdwCleaner


    STEP 2: Scan your computer with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

    STEP 3: Double-check for malware with HitmanPro

    (OPTIONAL) STEP 4: Scan your computer with Zemana AntiMalware

    (OPTIONAL) STEP 5: Reset your browser to default settings

    You may not need to use Hitman Pro (Trial Version) or Zemana (also a trial version) as suggested in step 3 and step 4 but you may need to reset your browsers (see step 5).

    Good luck…

    Unable to Remove Exclusions from Windows Defender

    Thank you for posting back. If you trust a file, file type, folder, or a process that Windows Defender Antivirus has detected as malicious, you can stop Windows Defender Antivirus from alerting you or blocking the program by adding the file to
    the exclusion list. It seems that it was added automatically. We suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings and select Update & security.
    • Click Windows Defender.
    • Look for Exclusions and select Add an exclusion.
    • Navigate to the file, folder, or process, and select Exclude this file.

    If the steps provided did not work, we recommend that you boot your device to
    Safe Mode
    and redo the process.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
