  1. Malware reappears after scan


    All Drive were wiped and reformated. Windows 10 PRO reinstalled. Ran well for one day. Now Microsoft safety scanner findes 19 infected files, run the scanner and it finds one file that Malwareytes says is not a infected file, but a procces file it uses to suppress a Winsow Defeneder uses. If the MSRT scanner findes and cleans the infected files, why do they reapear the next scan? Malwarebytes scan finds zip.

    Hi Rob,

    You don't need to pay for help removing the virus/malware. You can get
    free
    help by specially- trained, malware removal experts on any one of a number of malware support forums.

    So if José's suggestion doesn't clear things up, I suggest you post on either one of these forums. They also use special tools to check various locations on a system, along with requesting log files. They'll provide step by step guidance until your system's
    clean.

    All the best in getting this infection cleaned up.

  3. Malware Reappears after Removal

    Defender on windows 10 finds malware on my computer. I let defender delete it. About every two days the malware reappears. It has happened a few times. Any help on this?

    Malware removal


    Understood, OldMike. I will keep your suggestion in mind. I always appreciate suggestions from those who know more than I do. I think the Malware did do more than one scan, because I had to approve removal of what it found twice. I don't see Windows Defender on the list of programs. I think it was on there before they redid the software. Pluto TV also disappeared.
