    PDF down loads not working - being flagged as having a virus threat ... Failed - Virus scan...


    Tried down loading a turbo tax PDF file of my return and am getting the message failed virus scan failed. I removed McAfee anitirus, still not working. Tried down loading bank statement as a pdf, getting same error. Also got it on another site. Only started happening a couple of days ago. Right now says my security providers are: ANTIVIRUS - Microsoft Defender Antivirus is turned on.

    :)

    Virus Scan ONLY tool?

    I was using Malwarebytes to run scans on things I downloaded to make sure they're clean before I run them... but now Malwarebytes wants to run constantly and wants to do virus scans all the time, even though I told it not to (I'll scan a single file then it starts another threat scan on its own).

    Are there any good tools that do virus scanning only?

    Virus and Threat Protection Issue

    When looking to run a virus scan on my computer, I'm met with an error that says "Virus and Threat Protection is Managed by your Organization." THis is a personal laptop though. Any suggestions?

    Virus scan failed

    Everything I download I get the failed-virus scan failed. I have tried turning off all virus scans, doing the registry edit, restarting in safe mode, and using other internet browsers. Nothing has worked.
