Microsoft Defender notifies me about a virus/threat while Microsoft Safety Scanner runs a full scan and returns no warnings.

Hi everyone!


I am using a Windows 10 Home, 64 bit.


While running a full scan on my computer using Microsoft Safety Scanner (latest version), I got a notification from Microsoft Security (or Microsoft Defender, not sure what's the correct name), saying that it found a threat/virus. The thing that doesn't make sense for me is that at the end of the full scan, Microsoft Safety Scanner returned no warning, threats or viruses notifications. Is there an explanation to this?


I managed to remove the threats using Microsoft Security, but why didn't Safety Scanner detect them?


Thank you!
