    I have gotten a few of these trojan warnings from IO Bit malware fighter and windows defender. Malware fighter says quarantined and deleted. defender has them still in the threats and says they need actions. When i try nothing happens. I am afraid to do anything with this new computer. Here is a copy of the notepad saved. I cant seem to copy a screen print of the windows defender.IObit Malware Fighter OS: Windows 11 Version: 11.0.0.1274 Engine Version: 11.0.0.1228 Database Version: 2349 BDVersion: 7.9592201/14/2024 00:24:00 GMT Scan Mode: Manual Scan Type: Full Scan Time Elapsed: 00:25:56

  2. Recurrent trojan, HTML/Phish quarantined by Windows Defender, and don't have active option/button to remove as suggested.

    Hi!

    Currently have,

    edition Windows 10 Pro

    version 1803

    OS Build 17134.48

    Slow ring with active development

    For the last several build downloads, Windows Defender has been quarantining a severe trojan, HTML/Phish, providing file details, the suggestion to remove, but no obvious way to do so, like a "remove threat" button.

    Two file examples are:

    trojan : HTML/Phish

    affected items:

    file: C:\Users\3orch\AppData\Local\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Files\S0\116\GEUSE7738644[1175].html

    C:\Users\3orch\AppData\Local\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Files\S0\116\GEUSE7738644[1719].html

    Now, I will share my lack of expertise by asking why does this trojan keep recurring once quarantined by Windows Defender from build to build?

    Is a clean install the only option I have? Kinda' thought that was done with each new build download? Also thought Windows Defender is adaptive/preventive in it's way of staying ahead of threats?

    Thank you for any kind instruction and enlightenment.

    Kind Regards,

    Windows Defender keeps taking action on nonexistent threats on nonexistent scans

    I have a laptop (Dell Inspiron 3541) running Windows 10 v1803. Recently, I have been getting notifications from Windows Defender saying threats were found and removed on scnas that didn't happen.

    Some of the notifications are:

    and

    When I go to Windows Defender, it doesn't show any threats found - nor does it even show a recent scan. For example, I got one of the above notifications today, and this is what Windows Defender showed.

    I tried running a scan, but the ETA was 4 hours, then 20, then 70, and still kept going up.

    Is there a way I can find out what the "threats" are? Or make it stop sending these unnecessary notifications?
