    Stopping Defender from telling me it found nothing?


    Is there a way to stop the alerts from Windows Defender that uselessly tell me it found nothing? If there's no problem, I don't need or want to hear about it.

    Just tell me if/when it finds something suspicious, then I'll deal with it. Otherwise STHU!

    windows defender keeps telling me that it is removing a malware but when scanned it tells me that nothing is on my computerl. and it won't turn off.

    This may be a detection in your browser and the malware is being blocked by the browser software.



    Any new browser extensions that need to be disabled/removed?



    Are you using Internet Explorer?



    Try emptying temporary internet files, restarting the computer, manually updating WD and running a Quick Scan.



    For issues with Google Chrome see How to stop unwanted pop-ups or homepage changes in Chrome,
    and How to reset Google Chrome settings. You may want to use Remove unwanted ads, pop-ups & malware - Computer - Google Chrome Help





    If the issue continues try the following free scanners:



    AdwCleaner: AdwCleaner



    Emsisoft Emergency Kit: Как обнаружить и удалить угрозы с помощью Emsisoft Emergency Kit



    Other scanners that may help with this issue are listed in List
    of Malware Removal Tools




    You may need to reset your browsers.

    That looks like it disables *all* notices. I only want to disable the pointless "All is well!" alerts. No news is good news is what I like.

    I've found that antivirus/malware software often tends to nuke various completely harmless utilities and things like demos.

    I gave up on Avast because that company would not learn from their mistakes on false positives. It repeatedly kept deleting various demos from farbrausch and other groups.
