    MS Edge - All downloaded files "contain a virus and were deleted". Google Chrome error when...


    I'm currently experiencing a problem when trying to download or save any files in Windows 10 from either Edge or Chrome. When trying to download a file in edge, I get the error "xxxx.pdf contains a virus and was deleted" - this happens for all files, regardless of source. When trying to save a file using Google Chrome, I get the error message "virus scan failed" and subsequently I can't save the file. I've completely removed and reinstalled chrome, I've done an offline scan in Windows Defender, checked various security settings, but I'm a little stumped with this one. Any ideas?

    :)
