Hello Microsoft Community,


Can someone please help. When I run Microsoft Safety Scanner 1.335.1154.0 it finds 50 items, and shows as infected. However at the long scan it ends with 0 files are found and none are repaired. Is there something wrong? I ran it again and it found 50 items again. Should it say something about false positives?

Is this tool operating correctly? Can someone please help? I have ran this multiple times and it shows 50 infected files each run.

Why is it labeling 50 files as "infected files?" Nothing is ever shown as removed or found on completion.​
