  1. Instead of taking action against virus, my virus protection software just says quick scan again


    So, for a while, my virus protection software I think it's windows defender? I dunno, my computer is a hand me down has kept saying there is a virus and then I've done a quick scan and taken care of it. Annoying, but not a big deal. But today, when I figured out which file had the virus and tried to remove, a new one appared. Did the same thing, but now when it says take action, it doesn't, it just says to quick scan again. What should I do, if anything? PS, I'm not 100% sure what version of windows I have, I just know I update it when there is an update.Edit: My virus protection software I

    2 windows 10 alert messages of "virus protection is currently not on," and "windows defener action needed to do a virus scan,"

    while on a website I get the warning my virus protection is not on, I got to defender and it is on. and on occasion I get an action recommended, with a exclamation mark triangle on the windows defender icon on the task bar. so I open that and there's the
    warning triangle on the "virus and threat protection" and it has a last scheduled scan being a couple weeks old but the windows defender security system window says "your device is being protected" and a daily update and scan are listed:

    last threat scan 1-14-2018

    last threat definition update 1/28/2018

    last health scan 1/28/2018

    virus & threat protection has Quick scan due.....(why?) isn't that all automatic?

    thank you.

    Virus and Threat Protection Issue

    When looking to run a virus scan on my computer, I'm met with an error that says "Virus and Threat Protection is Managed by your Organization." THis is a personal laptop though. Any suggestions?
