Windows 10: I have been infected with VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

Hi Microsoft support, I have been noticing a few strange things that my surface pro is doing. Firstly, over the past months, my laptop has been slowing down and sometimes when I restart the computer or turn it on, half of the screen goes another color. Here is a screen shot of the virus i get automatically.

Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

Hi there.

Anybody can help me with how to clean my computer from this virus:
Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

Usually, when I run MSERT.exe it says that this virus was eliminated. But I have some questions:

a) Is it a memory-resident malware?

b) Is it launched in my computer startup?

c) Or is it activated when I run some software. How can I know which software is launching it? I guess that MSERT must know.

d) Where it is located?

e) How can I delete it?

f) FINALLY.......IS IT DANGEROUS? (For example, Is my computer safe to use it with my credit card payments)

Hello I am an independent advisor for the Microsoft community. I did a quick search and found that this isn't actually a virus, it's actually Windows Defender notifying you about your settings. Here is the page with more info:
