    Microsoft safety Scanner detects 13 infected files during scan, and when I get the scan result at the end it says "The scan completed successfully and no viruses, and other potentially unwanted software were detected".Why does this happen? I have tried booting in to safe mode where it gets the same detections, and the same end result. Almost as the malware have found a way to cheat the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    :)

    Scan results (Locky ransomware)

    Hello,

    This issue might cause due to the virus itself. Virus is affecting the anti-virus software.

    I suggest you to perform a full system scan using Microsoft safety scanner in the safe mode and check if it helps:

    The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software.

    Microsoft Safety Scanner Download - Windows security

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.


    Note: Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.
