    My scan is showing me there's threat, even after removing everything


    I scanned a lot of times, different types of scan, but still there are same number and same kind of threats. I removed everything but still there is threat from the same files. I know about specter and meltdown malwares but I don't think it's that type of problem.

  2. WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

    Hello PaulPChou,

    This one works. You're correct I chose removed but it just doesn't remove the threats it says working and after working the threats are still listed. I ran the safety scanner, reboot, scan in safe mode, scan in clean boot but neither of those works to remove
    the listed threats.

    Just as I thought all I need is to manually delete the file where it contains the threats list just like a log file.

    Thanks for providing the path where it stores the list.

    Best regards,

    Lelouch

  3. WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

    I'm having a problem with Windows Defender the threats found after I ran a full scan that last maybe around 10 hours cannot be removed by windows defender. I selected the remove option and it shows processing but after a while
    the threats are still listed and active. I already ran a offline scan and a quick scan but neither fix the problem.

    I already ran a secure boot and see if third-party apps are causing the problem but nothing works the threats are still listed and active. I checked the location of the file and manually deleted it even on my recycle bin but
    the threats are still there and labeled as active. This very annoying. I think this is an error in the windows defender part because I installed Malwarebytes and ran a full scan which took a couple of hours and found nothing because like I've said I have deleted
    the file location where the threats are.

    WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

    Hello Paul,

    Thanks for providing the link and trying to help me but it doesn't do the job. I ran the safety scanner for a full scan and it took almost 10 hours and didn't find any threats, but the list on windows defender about threats is still there and it shows active.
    I don't know if that's a bug or what I'm done doing a clean boot and restart my computer after the safety scanner finished scanning but the threats are still listed there. Very annoying.

    I'm thinking of removing it manually but I don't know-how. I tried to remove it by cleaning the log files where it stores the protection history but I think the listed threats were stored in another location.
