    Security essentials flagging my excel doc as being a virus


    After a recent 365 update 3/17, I have an Excel doc with VBA and Macros that Security Essentials is flagging as a virus. It deleted and/or disabled all of the macros and vba code and will not allow me to upload the backup file from a thumb drive. The excel doc has been working fine for months...until this update. We made the file an exclusion but it still flags it as a virus. Any ideas???

    :)

    Windows defender flagging excel doc as a virus. Microsoft Security Intelligence has removed the detection but doc is still being flagged.

    A very important excel do with vba and macros is being flagged by windows defender as a virus. We submitted to microsoft - they scanned the document and said they removed the detection. We have run all updates on our windows 10 computers but we still cannot
    use the file. Our company cannot run without this document - it has been working for several months until there was an Office 365 update on March 17, 2020. Have had no luck contacting MS to get help and our Office 365 "partner" that MS is telling us to contact
    is unwilling to send out tech's or help us at this time due to COVID.

    Please help!

    Can i install microsoft security essentials software in windows 10?

    No, you cannot install Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 10. It's neither designed for nor will it work on Windows 10.

    Windows 10 comes with in-built Anti-Virus program Windows Defender which is similar to
    Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows 7.
