Windows 10: Virus scan

Discus and support Virus scan in AntiVirus, Firewalls and System Security to solve the problem; Part of the way through the scan the Microsoft scan records 44 infected files, but on completion it reports no malware detected. Why the inconsistency?... Discussion in 'AntiVirus, Firewalls and System Security' started by ElyKev, Aug 25, 2021.

    Windows Security Virus Scan

    Please confirm you don't have a list like this:

    e.g. from here (or via the control panel):

    If not, suggests deeper problems. To which uninstall option are you referring? (A picture is worth...)

    Yes that's exactly what I have. If you notice there is an uninstall option next to organize if you scroll to other updates ie. office, but it will disappear once you scroll to the latest updates.

    Virus Scan ONLY tool?

    I was using Malwarebytes to run scans on things I downloaded to make sure they're clean before I run them... but now Malwarebytes wants to run constantly and wants to do virus scans all the time, even though I told it not to (I'll scan a single file then it starts another threat scan on its own).

    Are there any good tools that do virus scanning only?
