Windows 10: Potential Virus on PC

Hello,


I have made an AMD PC and used my storage from my old pc. There has been an application called, Intel Security Assist. I can not uninstall or remove it, and this application has been on my pc for years now. Is this Malware or an application that simply can not be uninstalled?

:)

PC Potentially unprotected

Hi Beatrice,

"PC Status: Potentially unprotected" may happen because of the following reasons:

• An anti-virus scan has not run for a while.
• Your anti-virus software is not updated.
• Your anti-virus software is not running.

Since you've mentioned that your computer is running Windows 10, we recommend running the
Windows Defender to help protect your PC against malware. This article: Help protect my computer with Windows
Defender

will help you on how to turn a real-time protection on or off and even schedule a scan.

Let us know if you have clarifications.
