Windows 10: Windows Defender not picking up win erx03 malware

Windows defender not stopping this pop up that is impossible to get out of except with c+alt+del. Quick scan doesn't find it, full scan does but will reinfect? Pop up warns that files will be deleted in a number of seconds that count down if don't press update. Any advice?

The previous poster in this thread directed you to
https://www.2-spyware (dot) com/remove-win-erx03.html to resolve this issue. The poster included a warning to research any recommended products on that page.

There's a reason for that warning.

Did you empty temporary internet files, restart the computer and then run a “Quick Scan” with Defender or whichever antivirus program you are using?

Any new browser extensions or items in startup that need to be disabled/removed?

Note that you may need to reset your browsers...

You may also wish to scan your computer with Malwarebytes and/or the Emsisoft Emergency Kit and/or the Eset Online Scanner:List

Windows Defender Fails Malware Test

Microsoft’s very own antivirus software, Windows Live OneCare, was recently found to be failing Vista users, and now the same has been discovered for its free anti-spyware application. In tests carried out by Australian company Enex Testlab, Windows Defender struggled to detect just half of the malware which it was tested with, with the quick scan finding missing most of the malware and the full scan finding only 53.3%. It would be best to note that the test was financed by competing company PC Tools, which claims the test was unbiased, although the winning software (detecting 88.7% of malware) was PC Tools’ very own Spyware Doctor. Windows Defender was released as a final version in October 2006, so it is relatively new and of course (being free) costs less than Spyware Doctor.
