  1. Microsoft Safety Scanner has been scanning a .ncx file for hours


    I am running Microsoft Safety Scanner on my laptop win 10. But it has been scanning a .ncx file for 5 hours, and status has stayed unchanged up to now. I can not cancel to stop it. I've deleted this file. But nothing changes. How can I do now?

    :)
