    Hi! I purchased a program that I know isn't a virus 2 days ago, and it worked perfectly fine. Now, whenever I try to open it, it says "Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software." I have no 3rd party AV installed, and I've turned off all security settings. However, whenever I try to disable Windows Defender SmartScreen, it turns back on.

    :)

  2. Unable to access file after upgrading to Windows 10. Error-operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.

    Original title: Win 10 files problem

    I have just updated win7-> win10.However after updated to win 10, all of files are unopenable.

    For example, click on Microsoft Words and it says : ''operation did not complete successfully bc the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.''

    [Help] I always get this error: error 0x800700e1: operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.

    When i tried to move my file to another, this error pops up: error 0x800700e1: operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.

    I've already turned off Windows Defender just to move it but still doesnt work.

    I Have no antiviruses. Ive tried to disable Windows AntiSpyware from regedit and still doesnt work.

    Please help
