full scan

Remediation Incomplete. I got a notification from Windows Defender that a Trojan had been detected on my laptop, but “Remediation was Incomplete” and the threat remained “Severe”. How do I complete remediation please? So far I have tried: 1. A Windows Defender Quick Scan – nothing detected; 2...

I recently uninstalled Google Chrome due to getting a "Trojan" or two while searching for a "File managing" program today. This "Trojan" would pop up after having Chrome open for a few minutes stating I had to call a number (1 844 501-5384) to talk to a Microsoft representative to resolve the...

I've come across a weird issue in Windows 10 Pro x64 1703. In C:\Users\ Windows 10 repeatedly shows 2 weirdly named User folders. I look in Control Panel>User Accounts and as expected I'm the only user. I delete these 2 bogus folders numerous times a day and they contantly re-appear...

I have 2 accounts on my laptop. Earlier today I received a malware message saying my account had been compromised. I ran Norton Full Scan and Eraser no issues found. When logged in under the non-Admin account and prompted to supply the admin user password this is accepted - however when try...

The internet on my laptop is randomly extremely slow on wifi. For instance, when I run a speed test, the download speed will be around 15 Mbps which is normal performance and a few minutes later will not even crack 1 mbp. No other computer on my network is as slow as this. I'm posting from my...

Yesterday, I noticed my taskbar acting strange. I was using Firefox at the time, and my taskbar would just start blinking rapidly. Right now as I type, my screen is blinking, my taskbar is flickering rapidly, and the icons on my taskbar are enlarging quickly. This happens when I am not in...

So my fiance plugged in a USB drive with music from limewire..security essentials popped up with a Trojan downloader...I hit fix, then said it was OK. I turned it on this morning and it popped up again. So I'm running a full scan, but what do you think? What should I do to get rid of this. It...

I'm trying to create a scheduled task that will wake my computer weekly to run a Security Essentials full scan. Apparently, the MSE scheduler does not wake the computer for scans but DOES put the computer to sleep during a scan if the sleep timer is set for less time than the scan requires (mine...

Why does it take so long for MSE to complete a full scan of my system? Even the other spyware/malware apps doing a full scan takes at best up to an hour. With MSE running a full scan can take upwards of 5 plus hours and sometimes even longer.......this scan that is now running started at 10:43am...
