My Windows Defender found a virus during a scan. Now how do I make Windows Defender delete the virus?
I select remove, and click the start action button. The start action button goes away, but nothing else seems to happen. If I do a quick scan, I can bring the button back.
If I go to protection history I can see the threat listed. If I click on it here I get a message, "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device."
It says the app is Windows Security. Verified publisher: Microsoft Windows. But still clicked no because I do not know if this change will delete the threat, or install it. That is not clear to me.
So to recap, what step by step process do I need to do to remove this threat? And by means, feel free to pretend I am eight years old while explaining this.
