Windows 10: MSERT reruns keep showing infected files

Hello!I ran MSERT the first time and it showed 7 infected files, but at the end only one was listed as removed VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore. I ran the MSERT twice after that restarted my laptop after every run and infected files number went up to 11 but it said no virus or spyware was detected. How could the infected file number increase but nothing is removed or quarantined? is there another method to scan for malware? I also turned on the Virus Threat Protection in my account and have a Virus Protection software that never detected the malware prior to the MSERT scan. how can i

:)

 

MSERT scanned 23 files infected, viruses/malware

If the Microsoft Safety Scanner shows clean (no detections found) when finished, then it's most likely that MSERT suspected a possible threat during the scan, displayed it as such (infected files) but determined the file(s) were not an actual confirmed threat(s) upon completion.

Keep in mind that Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSERT) is intended to be a supplement to an existing anti-virus program (not a replacement).

 

Why is MSERT is not producing a report even when it finds infected files?

I ran the MSERT. It found infected files. No report was produced. Why? So are the files removed or not?

 

MSERT Log Empty

Why does MSert tell me I have 16 infections but at the end it says no virus found and the log is empty with no listed infections?
