Windows 10: Microsoft Safety Scanner continuously finds and removes Vir Tool:...

I have been getting the yellow shield emblem that says this has been removed. If the PC acts up again, I run the scanner again. It might show the yellow shield emblem or it might show a green emblem. Why is Windows Defender allowing the same problem to recur? How can I stop this? I also have NordVPN and Malwarebytes running on my PC. I set Malwarebytes to excuse Windows Defender so that it would not block it. Is there anything else I should do?

Need to know what Microsoft Safety Scanner is removing - logs not verbose enough

The current version of Microsoft Safety Scanner v1.0 (build 1.227.458.0) logging provides no details that can help in determining what was found and the location of the threat on the system. The only thing given that's relative to the threat detected is
a PID number, but if the system is then turned off and/or or has the threat removed then you won't be able to find out what process the PID belonged to or anything else to help identify it for documentation and future purposes.

Here's an example:

"

Threat detected: TrojanDownloader:Win32/Zdowbot.A

process://pid:72020,ProcessStart:131164393356509360

SigSeq: 0x00007578FC0EA743

Quick Scan Removal Results

----------------

Start 'remove' for process://pid:72020,ProcessStart:131164393356509360

Operation succeeded !

Results Summary:

----------------

Found TrojanDownloader:Win32/Zdowbot.A and Removed!

Microsoft Safety Scanner Finished On Tue Aug 23 14:31:26 2016

"

Says it removed the threat, but from a filesystem perspective what exactly was removed? There's absolutely no information in these logs telling me what changes were actually made by the Safety Scanner.

Not looking for suggestions on other tools outside of Microsoft Safety Scanner or requests to describe my situation and why I used it. Subsequent scans with this tool turned up clean so there's confidence that between the second clean scan, plus clean Mc-Crappy
and Malwarebytes scans that it is in fact removed. With that said though lack of info in the logs and not knowing what changes are being made by this type of tool is an issue for me, I don't think I'll continue to use this tool and will begin looking to other
offline scanners out there.

My real question is:

Does anyone know if there's any place to suggest enhancements to this tool?
