    Default Windows internet security scan ??

    Hi all,

    This has occurred twice in about a month. All of a sudden a screen pops up and starts scanning my HDD, its all official looking from windows it says its a windows security scan with the windows logo everywhere then it detects 3 or four viruses and it then asks me to download an update.

    Any thoughts on this? Malwarebytes does not detect anything nor does my F secure anti virus??

    TIA

    It doesnt sound good mate Maybe download Hijack this and do a scan and post up the log. It might show something.

    These things are getting sneakier and sneakier. Its a bit of a concern when it gets through your online security.

    Sorry mate I cant find anything out of the ordinary.

    In a nutshell , copy and paste any suss looking process in to google and it usually easy to find out what it is. Ie , xxxxx.exe

    I have googled about a dozen or so but nothing looks suspicious. But thats based on believing the others are what they say they are.

    In the past you would nearly always find the culprit in a log but in the last few months they appear to have got a bit trickier.

    When it starts scanning you could open up task manager select the processes tab, sort by CPU and the processes using the most of the CPU will be at the top.
    Then you could google those at the top.
    I have used this process to find out what is slowing down my PC and I found a nasty one.
    Good luck

    @ Sanity, Thanks Buddy will give it a go.

    @ Moof yes will try that too.

    I must say if it is a virus its relatively harmless as I generally start Task manager and end task which stops it. More of an annoyance than something thats super dangerous.

    Have now run 5 different scans using various progs with nothing found.

    Hmmm more digging to be done.

    Cheers

    As moof suggested , see if you can spot it in task manager. Open task manager when it starts running , go to Processes and see what is using the bulk of your CPU at the time. If your not sure what it is do a google on it and see how you go.

    Yes will certainly do that sanity, the only issue is that its pretty random and not that often, but will certainly run TM when it does.

    I would call Microsoft and ask them what they think about this before you do anything, they should be able to assure you whether it's a legit scan or not, I personally never heard of it or seen it before.

    one more thing if you decide to format, could you please do it after this pops up again but this time try to update and see where it takes you, maybe we can all learn something new from your experience.lol
