    Threats keep coming after trying to remove using windows security


    Hello, today I scanned for threats and it turns out I had one. Well, one at first. My problem is that everytime I try to remove threats it takes about 30 minutes to an hour before I get a notification that they have found more threats. I now have 3 severe threats it seems everytime I try to remove them it just gets worse. Threats include Exploit:JS/Blackhole!MSR Exploit:HTML/IFrameBO.gen Trojan:Script/Wacatac.C!ml. I would very much appreciate if somebody knows anything that could help me out here. Im thinking about trying to remove them offline as I beilive I heard that could help.

    :)

    WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

    Hi lelouch.lamperouge,

    Sorry if that didn't work.

    Is the threat listed on your Quarantined Items? If yes, please try the following.

    1: Open Windows Defender Security Center from the system tray area.

    2: Click “Virus & threat protection”.

    3: Open Protection History.

    4: Click filters, select ‘Quarantined Items’

    5: Select the threat and click Remove.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.

    WINDOWS DEFENDER IS NOT REMOVING THREATS

    Hello PaulPChou,

    This one works. You're correct I chose removed but it just doesn't remove the threats it says working and after working the threats are still listed. I ran the safety scanner, reboot, scan in safe mode, scan in clean boot but neither of those works to remove
    the listed threats.

    Just as I thought all I need is to manually delete the file where it contains the threats list just like a log file.

    Thanks for providing the path where it stores the list.

    Best regards,

    Lelouch
