    Malicious software detection

    I assume you received a message that reads “Preliminary scan results show that malicious or potentially unwanted software might exist on your system. You can review detected items when the scan has completed.”

    The key word is “might.”

    That means when the scan was finished the Windows Defender program determined that the software or file in question was not malware.

    If no items were quarantined and/or listed in All Detected Items you can safely ignore the message you saw during the scan.

    Or

    If you would prefer you can always scan your computer with one or more of the following scanners:
