    Microsoft safety scanner found something but my antivirus didn't


    Hello, I recently did a Microsoft safety scanner scan just for fun to see what it would find and it had found this


    VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

    I'm pretty confused onto why my McAfee security did not find this if it was a virus. Any answers?

    :)
