    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.

    Your Windows Defender is not running because it has been shut down by McAfee.
    McAfee has its own defender, having 2 defenders running in the same machine will create conflicts, not to mention redundancy. That is why WD is being shut down.
    WD can be restarted as soon as McAfee is uninstalled.

    Windows Defender is part of Windows 10 operating system.
    It cannot be removed or uninstalled.

    Windows Defender is inside Windows System under All apps.

    Click Start button > left side, near the bottom, click All apps > scroll down to alphabet W > click Windows System > Windows Defender is the last one on the list.

    Okay, you're right, it's still there. I paid for McAfee, so i'll use it. It was on the computer when I got it, so I assumed it was supposed to be there.
