NewsBot Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 It discovered a thread which isn't a real threat. Now it is stuck for an hour trying to removing it, while it is not progressing at all and at the same time it wastes 25% of my CPU constantly. I can't terminate the process either, not even as administrator. The only thing I can do is reboot the system and deactivate Windows Defender through Group Policy before it starts removing the "threat" once again (does it constantly). At the same time, the file isn't there anyway because I removed it myself (in case Windows Defender would stop but it didn't). Note: I always do: uncheck "Live Monitoring of the system" or whatever it is called prior to disabling it. So it was really disabled. I did Disk Cleanup still nothing, it always finds this threat again. I tried pressing "remove" the threat, "quarantine" the threat and "Allow" the threat. It always clogs up no matter what! So, I deactivated Windows Defender from Group Policy, rebooted and restarted Windows Defender. Guess what? After a minute or so, it starts removing this threat again! How can I stop this? How is it finding this information? Thanks in advance. More... Quote View All Our Microsft Related Feeds
