    Need help with 'Microsoft Defender Antivirus found threat'


    Since last 15-16 hours, I am getting these notifications/alerts that Defender found threats. I did a quick scan, but it showed that no new threat found. Although the Quick Scan did not finish completely, it just stopped midway and showed that no new threat was there. Then I went for 'Full Scan'. While running Full Scan, 'Estimated Time Remaining' kept on increasing. After running the scan for roughly 3 hours it reached to a point where it started displaying that the Estimated Time Remaining was 23 hours. So, I got frustrated and stopped the 'Full Scan'. Please help me out.

    :)
