    Hi Javier,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I would appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down the issue in order to provide you with better assistance.

    • Are you talking about Windows Defender or MSE, as in windows 10 we have Windows Defender preinstalled?
    • Do you have any other security software installed?
    • Are you getting any error message/code when it get stuck while performing full scan?
    I would suggest you to try the steps provided in the thread mentioned below and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

    Windows 10 Windows Defender versus Microsoft Security Essentials

    Hi Bryan,

    Microsoft Security Essentials was upgraded to Windows defender and it was a default security software from Windows 8. You cannot have both as they are one.

    Since you get this annoying popup at the startup i suggest you to disable any Microsoft Security Essentials entries in Startup tab.

    • Open the Task manager. by pressing Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • click on Startup tab
    • Right click on Microsoft Security Essentials entry and click on Disable.

    Restart the computer and check if that helps.

    No.

    Microsoft Security Essentials is an anti-virus program which is
    not     compatible with Windows 10. It was created and available for earlier Windows versions (XP, Vista, 7).

    Windows 10 comes with in-built anti-virus program Windows Defender

    How to Use the Built-in Windows Defender Antivirus on Windows 10

    *************************************************************************************************

    You need to do some scans.

    See this free, multi-step removal guide:
    http://malwaretips.com/blogs/web-shield-virus/

    In case you can't do step 1, move on with the next steps.

    If need be, run multiple scans with each of the tools and also
    reboot after each scan.

    Note: You might not need Hitman Pro.

    Cheers,
