Windows 10: Defender wont remove the threats

Microsoft Defender shows that there is one virus, but all other Antivirus Softwares show that it is clean and only Defender cannot remove this virus from the list.By the way, I have already removed this virus with Malwarebytes, but for some reason it is still there in Microsoft Defender.

Hello,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and providing us with the detailed description about the issue.

• Did you make any significant changes to the computer prior to this issue?

I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if that helps.

Method 1:

Try re-starting the scan.

Sometimes restarting a scan can resolve issues such as this, where the scan can long or gets stuck.

If the issue persists, follow method 2

Method 2:

Windows Defender is taking long time to perform a full scan.



This issue happens due to temporary Internet files, cookies, and other app log files. To resolve this issue, it is recommended to remove all these files before you schedule a full scan.

Deleting the temporary files and the browsing history increases the performance of Internet Explorer. However, you can store the temporary files till the space allocated to it is completely filled up. So it is wise to delete
the files and the browsing history, every couple of months.

Please refer to these steps to remove all temporary files.

Delete the temporary files and the browsing history.

Note:
The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that
you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature. Resetting Internet Explorer isn't reversible, and all previous settings are lost after reset.

Follow the steps to Delete Browsing History.
