Windows 10: Windows security/Windows defender detects a deleted item

Windows Security/Windows defender keeps detecting the same item I deleted months ago.It also detects the same file I mentioned multiple times:somehow can't upload a screenshotI tried restarting my pc several times. Didn't work.I also tried deleting the scans folder in %ProgramData%/Microsoft/Windows Defender but I somehow was not able to gain ownership of folder even by running cmd as admin with takeown /f, it would be nice if someone also told me how to gain ownership on the folderit kept giving me a UAC prompt request for file operation and then outputting "access denied" in console outp

"Attestation" A new feature coming to Windows Defender in Windows 10

Tech Republic - Upcoming Windows Defender feature will tell you when security fails

This seems very promising. Microsoft is in the unique position to know what Windows should look like, even before Windows Update pushes out new changes. As long as MS can properly sync WD with WU changes AND this new features does not make any "noticeable" hit on system performance/resources, all without any false positives, this should be a big step forward for consumer security, and a blow to the bad guys - always a good thing.

Of course, there will likely be some hiccups the Windows/Microsoft/Windows Defender bashers will surely pounce on - regardless how extensive the Beta process is. But hopefully open and unbiased minds will prevail. After all, the goal is to stop the bad guys and if this gets us closer to that, that's a very good thing.

Defender: Detected item . . .Exploit:SWF/Meadgive

The problem is that when the Windows Defender tried to remove the malware, it encountered the problem and started looping and sending the message 3-5 times a second continuously. It happened after an automatic update of Windows 10 recently. Since we can't
access the file on our file system in the \AppData in WIndows 10, we could not delete it either.

It has message:

Detected item Exploit:SWF/Meadgive
