Windows 10: Microsoft Safety Scanner 1.373.1508.0 removed threats but doesn't say which files it's...

Hi,I performed a Full Scan using Microsoft Safety Scanner 1.373.1508.0 and it found 57 threats but the end of the scan just states doesn't which files it's removed threats against and there's nothing in the log see below? The log C:\Windows\debug\msert.log just says this:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Safety Scanner v1.373, build 1.373.1508.0 Started On Sun Sep 4 15:10:02 2022 Engine: 1.1.19600.3 Signatures: 1.373.1508.0 MpGear: 1.1.16330.1 Run Mode: Interactive Graphical Mode --------------------------------------------

Microsoft safety scanner finds no virus?

Hello Anxious,

I am Jaspreet Singh.

Microsoft Scanner works in steps.

So at first stage it will detect what may be an infected file and it will add that to a list. This is the number you see when you see the scanner progressing. These are not actual infections, just suspicious files.

Once the scan is done the safety scanner will match the suspected files with the most recent database of threats and then tell you the actual infections on your system. If the last number is 0 it means no actual infection was found.

WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

Hello PaulPChou,

This one works. You're correct I chose removed but it just doesn't remove the threats it says working and after working the threats are still listed. I ran the safety scanner, reboot, scan in safe mode, scan in clean boot but neither of those works to remove
the listed threats.

Just as I thought all I need is to manually delete the file where it contains the threats list just like a log file.

Thanks for providing the path where it stores the list.

Best regards,

Lelouch
