    Virus Protection Repeated Pop-Up


    I tried Googling this to no avail.

    Windows gives me this notification (plus infuriating noise) every few seconds:

    Virus Protection (Security and Maintenance)

    That's all - there seems to be no actual information just that it wants me to look at my virus settings. All I use this laptop for is uni work, I have another laptop for general web browsing, torrenting, streaming etc. so I find it hard to believe I have a virus. Regardless I checked my virus software (McAfee) was all up to date and did a few scans. All clean. Pop up still going. Clicking it and clicking close have no effect. It's still going.

    :)

    Can't download photos into Windows 10

    There was a pop up notification from the virus protection preventing the app from allowing me to import. The virus protection pop up has been disabled. I did have to take the computer to a technician.

    Thank you to all who have been kind and giving me possible solutions.

    windows defender scanning stopped

    whenever I want to scan my laptop using windows defender it says that my PC is protected and when i click the scan, it starts scanning and then stop in the middle part of the scan. It says that

    "Your PC couldn't be scanned. This program's service has stopped. You can start the service manually or restart you computer, which will start the service."then it will say that

    real-time protection: off

    virus and spyware definitions: out of date so i will click the start. and it says that virus and spyware definitions: created 21 days ago and because the real time protection is off so i will click the turn it on and I will scan it again and the result
    will be the same. even though I restarted and PC and when i update the virus and spyware definitions a dialog box pop up in the middle of installing "Virus and spyware definitions couldn't be updated. This app couldn't check for virus and spyware definition
    updates. Check your internet or network connection and try again". and when i close the dialog box it says that virus and spyware definitions is up to date..

    need help for this repeating and repeating problem in scanning...

    Virus Protection Repeated Pop-Up

    It's an "Action Center" setting. I think it is the same for Windows 7/8/10. Just shut off notifications for AV progs there.

    I don't know if newer releases of Win 10 removed this setting from Control Panel and hidden it in Settings somewhere, but I think it is still in the Control Panel under Security/Action Center

    aralez,

    Welcome to the forum!

    If using Version 1607 of Windows 10, go to: Control Panel > Security and Maintenance
    In Security and Maintenance, check: Security > Virus Protection
    Is it on, or Off?


    -You can check which version of Windows 10 your PC is currently running by clicking the Start button, then click: Settings > System > About
    Look at Edition and Version.

    -To get to Control Panel, just type the words in the Ask me anything area of the TaskBar at the bottom of the screen.
