    Windows Defender Saying Threat Detected but not Showing the any Threats after System Scan?


    Last night I was downloading a .rar file that was flagged by Windows Defender as containing the trojan Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml. Before the file fully completed downloading it was deleted by Windows Defender. Unfortunately I am still getting a message in Defender saying that the file is infected and needs to be dealt with, but there IS NO file because Defender deleted it. I also ran Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro and Malwarebytes ADW Cleaner and all of them came up clean. I ran a full scan using Defender and it also comes up clean, I also ran an offline full scan using Defender which comes up clea

    Windows Defender Saying Threat Detected but not Showing the any Threats after System Scan?

    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?
