    Same malware detected by Win 10 Defender repeatedly & quarantined repeatedly

    This situation is increasingly troubling. For about a month, Win 10 Defender has been notifying me every few days it has detected & removed malware. When I open Defender for details, it lists either Rogue:JS/TechBrolo.A or Rogue:JS/TechBrolo.E and I find
    it hasn't actually removed the malware, but quarantined it. I don't understand what is being done when malware is "quarantined" or why Win 10 doesn't remove it. It is strongly recommended in Defender that I do so, but I have to check the box and click Remove.
    Which I do. I've also scanned offline, done quick scans and one full scan, none of which turned up anything.

    Why is Win 10 quarantining but not removing it? Is there any way of indicating to Defender not to allow any file with string Rogue:JS/TechBrolo in the file name? Defender says it is a Trojan Horse type. Since it is repeatedly directed at my PC and I assume
    sits there until Defender finds and at least quarantines it, am I at risk between Defender scans? Or does "Real Time" protection mean that risk doesn't exist?

    I'm puzzled too at the file name. I would think malware would have innocuous sounding or highly technical seeming names. "Rogue" and "Tech" together ... might just as well name the file LethalMalware.

    Windows Defender claims malware

    Just by starting up I.E., Windows defender claims that it is taking action to clean delete malware. I have ran WD, Malwarebytes etc with no problems. Antisuperspyware claims "Trojan agent/gen-downloader" and adware.dealply/variant claims they were removed. Subsequent runs no longer show those, but I am getting advertisements in the middle of all of the posts on this forum??*Mad Ad by savinshop are everywhere. Ad to install java plug-in everywhere also. Not sure what to do next.

    Remove Malware from Quarantine in Windows Defender

    When items are in Quarantine, you are protected, they couldn't distribute or harm your system and they stay in Quarantine just in case if it was incorrect detection and you want to restore them.

    However, if you select them and click on remove or remove all, they will be removed from Quarantine (NOT just Windows Defender).

    In addition, Windows Defender automatically remove Quarantine items after a while.
