Microsoft safety scanner finds no virus?

Hello Anxious,

I am Jaspreet Singh.

Microsoft Scanner works in steps.

So at first stage it will detect what may be an infected file and it will add that to a list. This is the number you see when you see the scanner progressing. These are not actual infections, just suspicious files.

Once the scan is done the safety scanner will match the suspected files with the most recent database of threats and then tell you the actual infections on your system. If the last number is 0 it means no actual infection was found.

 

Microsoft Safety Scanner error

Been trying to run this tool for last couple of days but keep getting an error that doesn't seem to appear on MS's page. I've downloaded it several times with no luck. Anyone know what this means? Thanks in advance for any assistance, and no rush on this as I was really only trying to run it out of curiosity (don't suspect any infection).

And Happy Easter folks. *Smile
