Windows 10: Last threat wasn't deleted, but no threats are shown active.

So, my Asus laptop got this thing: trojan:win32/batac.B!mtl

Windows Defender was swift; threat detected and so I decided to remove it and the folders connected.

Now in the protection history it says the correction wasn't complete but every scan says that my pc is good to go and no threats are active.

Only action I can do against the Trojan is "allow" and I surely won't click it. Is it normal?

deleting a allowed threat

Using Windows Defender Security Center I mistakenly allowed a threat, BUT it is a threat. How do I delete since it is now allowed?

 

Is restoring a quarantined threat the same as allowing the threat?

My Windows defender scan reported a threat last week. I quarantined it. After a few days, I updated my defender virus definitions, restored the threat, and ran another scan (because I wanted to find out if it was a false positive). This new scan did not
report any threat.

However, under defender's threat history, allowed items, I see this threat listed. I do NOT want to allow the threat, just wanted to find out if the latest definitions would still reported the file as a threat. How should I do that? Thank you. I am using
windows 10.

 

Windows Defender is missing Restore Button for Quarantined Threats

It wasn't listed under "Quarantined Threats", but was listed in "See full history" as quarantined. It has been about 2 hours
and now it is listed under "Quarantined Threats" which now shows the Restore or Delete options. Something must be causing
a delay in listing the quarantined file under "Quarantined Threats" after they have been found and quarantined by Defender.
