    Windows Defender Remediation Incomplete Trojan:Win32/Dex@hot


    Hello,I some how managed to get a trojan on my machine. This was detected 6/20/2021 around 1:25am Eastern time. I tried to get Windows Defender to handle it but in the history it says remediation is incomplete. Some say that it was abandoned, others say failed.Repeated scans do not show any new instances, I only find this in the history. When I run the offline scan the Virus & threat protection does not indicate that was run, just my last full scan.From the history it looks like this thing is all over the place from boot: \Device\Harddisk0\DR0I also tried MalwareByt

    :)

    Windows Security Protection History-remediation incomplete

    Windows 10 security found two trojans that are now listed in my protection history as severe-remediation incomplete. And yet my virus and threat protection shield icon has a green checkmark. What if anything should I do? Why does it say remediation incomplete?

    A manual scan by Malwarebytes identifies zero threats.

    Remediation Incomplete Message

    Remediation Incomplete Message

    I had a Trojan threat that indicated a virus was in Temporary files. I ran CCleaner to clear temporary files. I then checked Windows Security and it said my Virus and Threat Protection was ok. See screenshot.

    Later, I rechecked Protection History and found the Remediation Incomplete message. See screenshot. I read that sometimes this message can appear after clearing a virus threat.

    I ran CCleaner again and also Malwarebytes. I also did a Full scan on Windows Defender. In all scans they did not show I had any virus issues.

    So, how should I treat the Remediation Incomplete message?

    Thanks,
    Jerry

    Windows 10

    Windows Security Protection History-remediation incomplete

    I went to a website on Edge chromium. The was an audio message saying my computer was locked. It turned out it wasn't. I closed the browser, and opened Windows security. Two trojans were listed in protection history as severe - status:failed - remediation
    incomplete. A further scan by malware bytes revealed no threats. The two trojans were Skeeyah.A!rfn and FakeAlert!MSR
