Windows 10: What is this file? MSERT stops scanning on this file, and then jumps to the finished page...

Basically, I downloaded Youtube-converted audio file. I checked the virustotal said it is a harmless file before opening, and the property of this file is indeed a mp3 file.When I put in clipchamp AI video editing drop-file section, windows defender became red a sudden and back to green. Just chrome suddnely became laggy while editing in websites version of clipchamp or capcut I think is because of the adblock or browser guard extensionI fixed problem by opening the hardware acceleration.Then, I scanned with MSRT and MSERT both, but MSERT always stuck on this file and saying no files infecte

:)

 

Page File

Set minimum and maximum to a constant number as suggested by others, that will help reduce fragmentation on the drive coz of different page file sizing.

 

MSERT scanned 23 files infected, viruses/malware

If the Microsoft Safety Scanner shows clean (no detections found) when finished, then it's most likely that MSERT suspected a possible threat during the scan, displayed it as such (infected files) but determined the file(s) were not an actual confirmed threat(s) upon completion.

Keep in mind that Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSERT) is intended to be a supplement to an existing anti-virus program (not a replacement).

 

MSERT reruns keep showing infected files

Hello!

I ran MSERT the first time and it showed 7 infected files, but at the end only one was listed as removed (VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore).

I ran the MSERT twice after that (restarted my laptop after every run) and infected files number went up to 11 but it said no virus or spyware was detected. How could the infected file number increase but nothing is removed or quarantined? is there another method to scan for malware? I also turned on the Virus Threat Protection in my account and have a Virus Protection software that never detected the malware prior to the MSERT scan. how can i make sure my system is cleaned from malware?

thanks!
