Windows 10: Windows Antivirus not allowing me to take action

Hello,

I ran an antivirus scan with Windows Defender and it found a threat, more specifically it says it is a "VirTool:Win32/Obfuscator.XZ". I tried to take action using the action slide bar and tried both removing it and quarantining it, but clicking on either just closed the slide bar with the options and didn't take care of the threat. I reopened the actions slide bar and clicked on both remove and quarantine multiple times but nothing ever happened. I then decided to follow the path it told me the virus was in and I manually deleted it then emptied my recycle bin to try to delete it for good, though the threat still remains in Windows Defender. I am very concerned and do not know what to do.


I would very much appreciate some help with this problem, thank you very much and have a good day!

:)

 

Good Antivirus + Firewall

I would never put anything Norton on my computer.

Nod32 is arguably the best antivirus. AVG is likely not as good, but it's free and at least pretty good.

Firewalls, I'd put Comodo and whatever "Tiny Personal Firewall" is named nowadays on your short list. I think Kerio might have sold it now and it's named something else. Otherwise, just put Comodo on your short list. I think the current version's ease of use has taken a step backwards, seems a bit counter-intuitive when trying to do certain things with it, but overall it does a good job and the price is right.
