Windows 10: Microsoft Safety Scanner MSERT.exe version 1.335.68.0

Hi Everyone.


I already have McAfee Total Protection running on my Win10 Home. But always being cautious, occasionally, I download msert.ext and do a full scan. [COLOR=rgba161, 29, 122, 1]Yesterday, it found 491 files infected[/COLOR] :O


I have NOT downloaded anything and both McAfee or Windows Defender have never found any issues on my system. Why has msert.exe version 1.335.68.0 found 491 infection suddenly? [COLOR=rgba215, 57, 0, 1]Are they False Positives?[/COLOR]


The weird thing is that after 5 hours running when it was finished, it ignored the 491 infected files and stated that Msert didn't find any issues with my system and the scan was successful :O


[COLOR=rgba215, 57, 0, 1]Is anyone else experiencing the same issue or non-issue?[/COLOR]


[COLOR=rgba0, 0, 0, 1]Thanks[/COLOR]

:)
