    Windows Defender

    Every time I boot up my Windows Defender icon by the clock always has a red cross and when I double click on it I get this going on for hours on end.



    I don't know if it's scanning my hard drives or if it can't delete the infection. I'm thinking of uninstalling Windows Defender and re-installing it and hoping it will work properly if it isn't now. Does anyone know what is happening?

    Many thanks.

    press the review button and tell us what it says

    if it can't say what's wrong then you are probably infected with something that's interfering with it

    time to try another scanner
