Windows 10: Windows Defender says it's protected me from 2 threats, yet no indication of said threats...

Hello.

So, as the title implies, I got that notification this very morning. The weird thing is, I use Kaspersky, not WD, so Kaspersky would catch it if anything.

After entering my Windows Security tab in my settings and checking its History, nothing shows up. I've done multiple things and none of them show any indication of possible threats (besides, I only visit like 5 different secure sites, so I don't understand where this could be coming from).

I'm currently doing a full scan with Kaspersky (I did one on the 19th, nothing found), but should I be worried?

Thanks in advance!

Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service - Error 1067

Are you running the PC on an enterprise network and logging on to a domain? If not, the Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service won't run and shouldn't be started. It's not intended for stand-alone PCs.

Announcing Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection for Enterprise

The service that should be running (on Automatic) is Windows Defender Antivirus Service. If you have Cloud-based protection and Automatic sample submission turned on the (Manual) Windows Defender Antivirus Network Inspection Service should also be running.

The previously suggested in-place repair install is quite painless and preserves all your installed apps, settings and files. It should fix things if you can't get them going yourself.

 

Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection?

I'm using Win10 Pro and just recently noticed that I have a directory named
"Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection"

I'm using Malwarebytes Premium Licensed version and Defender together.

If this something MS added to the present defender or is this a pay for addition?

Is the directory needed as it seems that "Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection" is a for more big boy setups for businesses.


Can anyone explain.
Thank you

 

Virus threat protection

Hi Valentin

As an alternative approach, you can allow that utility through the Controlled Folder Access section of WIndows 10 security . . .

Open Windows Defender Security Center

Go to Virus & threat protection - Virus & threat protection settings

Scroll down to Controlled folder access

From there, you can add Dell Data Vault to the list of safe or allowed apps to prevent it from being blocked

Please do not leave Controlled Folder Access turned off permanently
