Yup, I'm being sarcastic because that's all I got left right now. Taking a hammer to this computer is looking more likely.
A virus is software that does something you don't want it to do right? Like delete files?
Windows defender keeps deleting files on me that I do NOT want deleted. Keeps registering them as Malicious software.. It's actually parental control software I purchased to keep my child safe and monitor her internet activities. I have added the file to the windows antivirus exceptions list and it still keeps deleting it. I've added the entire directory, and it still keeps deleting it.
Now it has done it again.. Windows antivirus is itself a virus. I need to restore the file and it won't let me. I click the restore option and it does nothing. Now I'm trying to restore it manually. I've googled how to do it and nothing works. Specifically, all these instructions tell me to execute a command. I open windows powershell (admin) and copy/paste the command and edit the file name. %ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe -Restore -Name MyFile.exe
But when I try to run that file, it says: The module '%ProgramFiles%' could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module
%ProgramFiles%'.
I've tried a half dozen websites, none work.
I did have one bit of success.. I was able to run a command that listed files under quarantine to make sure MyFile.exe was there, and it was.
