    Problem Removing Malware in Windows Defender


    Recently, I scanned my USB and it found a malicious file. I reformat my USB But according to my Windows Defender its still there, And i tried to remove but it's still coming back, so i scanned my PC it said there were no threats. How can I remove this? because still it bothers me. I put it on quarantine just to sure.


    [Original Title: Windows Defender]

    Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    Remove Bueno Search (Removal Guide)

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........

    Problem with Windows Defender Update and Malware Removal

    What is the complete name and
    path where Windows Defender indicates that the thrəat resides?

    Have a look where the file is located:

    QUOTE

    Scan results can be viewed by opening Windows Defender and looking at the last scan details. If anything was detected, it will show in the 'History' tab. If you want to see more detailed logs, you can view them in Event Viewer > Applications and Services
    Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Windows Defender > Operational. If malware was detected malware, it will show as a 'Warning' with a yellow warning sign and details.

    UNQUOTE

    -=-

    Delete temporary files.

    To delete temporary files: Do a disk cləanup. Click the Start button, in the səarch box, type
    disk cleanup, and then, in the list of results, click disk cləanup.

    Reboot

    Download the
    Windows Update Troubleshooter    , and then select
    Open or Save in the pop-up window.


    • Note

    Problem Removing Malware in Windows Defender

    Malware removal


    Understood, OldMike. I will keep your suggestion in mind. I always appreciate suggestions from those who know more than I do. I think the Malware did do more than one scan, because I had to approve removal of what it found twice. I don't see Windows Defender on the list of programs. I think it was on there before they redid the software. Pluto TV also disappeared.
