  1. Windows Security found something that doesn't exist


    Hello, So windows security tells me I have something I need to look at. I look at it and tell it to remove it but it doesn't do anything. the file path leads to the recycle bin but the recycle bin is empty. I copy and pasted the file path into file explorer and it pulled up a window to restore the file and said that the file was taking up 0 bytes. I've restarted the computer multiple times, but it hasn't fixed.

    a few hours ago I opened the storage cleanup thing in settings and it was running to delete some windows upgrade files as well as empty the recycle. I emptied the recycle manually while the process was running, this could have caused it but I'm unsure. I just want the message to go away, because it worries me that it's there.

    the file is AppWindows Security found something that doesn't exist :poweriso_BundleInstaller

    :)

    Found new hardware always on startup?

    You probably missed something... if you did a bios reset heres a short list of things that could have possibly been turned on - if they exist on your board:

    Raid controller
    1394 (Firewire)
    USB
    Audio

    And along the lines of the sexy Demulta's suggestion (ok, maybe he's not so sexy, just his avitar *Smile Windows Security found something that doesn't exist :)), go to "my computer" in windows explorer, right click properties - Hardware tab, device manager. Look through the tree for anything that has a big yellow "?" - question mark.

    The fact that the hardware is listed as "Security Center" has me puzzled though... I didn't notice that before.
