You can do the following method which should clean it right away but a bit more work If you like we can try a new way by clearing all the history from Windows Defender manually. Please do the following Click on Start and type CMD.EXE and when it shows, right-click over it and select to "Run as administrator" Then type the following and press the Enter key MD C:\ClearWD Then open the File Explorer to that new folder and right click and select New -- >> Text Document Then open it with Notepad. Then copy and paste the following into the blank document @echo off pushd "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service\DetectionHistory" echo Current folder is: %CD% rd /q /s "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service\DetectionHistory" popd pushd "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service" echo Current folder is: %CD% del /s /f /q "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service\*.log" popd pushd "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans" echo Current folder is: %CD% del /s /f /q "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\mpcache*" del /s /f /q "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\mpenginedb.db" del /s /f /q "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\mpenginedb.db-wal" popd pushd "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Support" echo Current folder is: %CD% del /s /f /q "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Support\*.log" del /s /f /q "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Support\MpWppTracing*" popd pushd "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Store" echo Current folder is: %CD% del /s /f /q "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Store\*" popd wevtutil cl "Microsoft-Windows-Windows Defender/Operational" pause Then save the document.

The FIX log ran well. It also found and corrected some other issues. Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. Are you still seeing any signs of infection? Please RESTART the computer again and get me a new fresh set of logs. The fix indicates that the services should have been fixed.

Interesting how that stands out

The FSS indicates it was either not run or it did not fix the issues with the broken services

Thank you. Do you have the FIXLOG.TXT from the Farbar fix?
