Windows 10: Issue with the Safety Scanner Result

I ran a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner. Towards the end of the scan I was showing over 20+ files as being infected. When the scan finished I was informed I had a HackTool/Android-Metaploit. I then decided to run the scan again and the Scanner was showing the same number of infected files towards the end of the scan, however this time when the scan was complete the results said that there was nothing infected.Why was I showing infected files during the scan but then nothing for the results? [Original Title: Safety Scanner]

Update Issue Safety Scanner

I'm running Win 10 (64-bit) started having problems that made me suspect some sort of virus or other malware. I ran (from safe mode) a full
scan using Safety Scanner, and Microsft Defender (which is his real-time scanner).

I found nothing with any of these and so I decided to try out ESET NOD32 Antivirus 8.0.318.1 which is run booting their software directly.

This process produced seven results, all listed as a infected files. Safety Scanner reported it was unable to remove the infected files but renamed them instead.

So after this longish rambling post, my question (and possibly complaint as well) is ... "Why did Safety Scanner remove threats and get action for it?

Primarily I have used Safety Scanner for it's speed and small foot-print as regards to machine resources used. But now I can't trust anymore .... and much as I hate to, will have to try something else. Or
is there another explanation?

 

Update Issue Safety Scanner

If you are using Windows Defender, you won't need Safety Scanner, as Windows Defender contains all malwares which are in Safety Scanner list and it has additional protection like cloud-protection, just make sure it is update and run a full system scan with
it.

Do you have access to those files which has been detected with ESET?

Could you post back the list of malware?
