  1. Windows Defender Antivirus detected Laroux Virus but I can't get rid of it with Windows...


    I was copying some files from old discs onto my laptop but seemingly one contained the Laroux virus. Windows Security describes the threat as Severe and offers 4 options Clean threat, Quarantine, Remove, Allow on Device. I haven't pressed 'Allow on Device' but I have tried the other three but all to no effect.
    The Status tells me 'Active threats have not been remediated and are running on your device'.

    Any suggestions as to how to rid my laptop of the virus would be welcome.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. Virus Not Detected By Windows Defender

    Hi,

    If your running two antivirus at the same time and Windows Defender did not detect the virus, We suggest that you remove the virus with the third party malware that you're currently using. We recommend to use a single anti virus. and keep it up-to-date.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
