    Please confirm you don't have a list like this:

    e.g. from here (or via the control panel):

    If not, suggests deeper problems. To which uninstall option are you referring? (A picture is worth...)

  3. Windows Security, list of scanned files

    Hi

    Regarding the new Windows Security app

    Questions:

    1) Where can I find a list of files included in latest (quick) scan.?

    2) Where can I find a list of file type default not included in a scanning?

    3) Where can I find the list of disks included in the next scanning?

    Regards

    Windows Security Virus Scan

    Yes that's exactly what I have. If you notice there is an uninstall option next to organize if you scroll to other updates ie. office, but it will disappear once you scroll to the latest updates.
