Windows Defender Problems

Recommended Posts

Recently Windows Defender has started flagging several software's as a virus for no reason, for instance, the installation file of Brave Browser, Internet Download Manager and Hard Disk Sentinel are all flagged and I cannot install them. Samsung Magician is also flagged as a virus and deleted by Defender with Defender also recognising Microsoft Edge as a virus.

Even my Canon MG7750 printer drivers don't escape Defenders clutches, this happens running both Pro & Enterprise versions of Windows 11. All software's are downloaded direct from the relevant official sites. I can install in safe mode and create an exclusion but that doesn't work either.
I am waiting for a new Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 1TB M.2 NVMe before I do a fresh install and am hoping a can find the cause before then, If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it.

Your computer is probably infected with a virus. Try scanning it with a 3rd party antivirus such as Kaspersky Virus Removal tool and see how it goes.

Theses things happen with Defender on a clean install with only all Microsoft updates installed. Until I apply the updates I can do what I want.
