    Microsoft Safety Scanner discrepency


    I ran the Microsoft safety scanner and while scanning it showed 25 files infected however at the end of the scan it reported that no files were detected. Can you help me understand if that is accurate? I don't want to sit and potential have a corrupt scanner.

    :)

    Microsoft safety scanner finds no virus?

    Hello Anxious,

    I am Jaspreet Singh.

    Microsoft Scanner works in steps.

    So at first stage it will detect what may be an infected file and it will add that to a list. This is the number you see when you see the scanner progressing. These are not actual infections, just suspicious files.

    Once the scan is done the safety scanner will match the suspected files with the most recent database of threats and then tell you the actual infections on your system. If the last number is 0 it means no actual infection was found.
