    MSERT Microsoft Safety Scanner shows 4 infected files during the scan, but when scan ends...


    Like the title says, while I am running the Microsoft Security Scanner it shows that it found 4 infected files, yet when the scanner ends it says it found nothing, and shows no detections in the log. Has anyone ever seen this before, or know how to fix it?

    :)

    Microsoft Safety Scan

    I just competed a Microsoft Safety Scan and one file infection was not removed or corrected by the Safety Scan Tool. The file name was Exploit:Java/obfuseator.w What is this file and how do I clean it out of my system.

    Safety Scan does not find the problem

    I have an infected computer so went to download the Safety Scan tool. It would not go to the site. So based on the first line of the site "You cannot download the

    Microsoft Safety Scanner     to your computer because your computer is infected by malware." After running the scan and it finishing without finding any virus files I attempted to go to the download site again. It still did
    not allow me to connect to the site. This is after Windows Defender was run and didn't find anything either. My next step is to blow away the computer unless someone has any other ideas.
