I thought I had millions of viruses, but this really took some stress off of me thanks!

For some reason, when I click “quick scan, ” it goes on forever. The amount of files scanned and estimated time remaining keeps increasing forever. Is this caused by a virus?

OK, it's June 14, 2024, lol, hope you are still living. I was a fan of Norton for way too long. I finally appreciate the Windows Defender Security package. This video was very fun, educational, helpful, necessary, etc. When you and many of us finally kick the bucket, we will be your heavenly followers in your high tech, reaching the edge of the stars computer shed.

I no longer see the scan option since I have another virus protector. It hasn't happened before, any solutions?

LITERALLY THANK YOU... I THOUGHT MY PC HAD A VIRUS BECAUSE ON ONE WEBSITE (THAT I USE SOMETIMES, TOTALLY NOT URBAN DICTIONARY...) KEPT REDIRECTING ME TO A MCAFEE SCAM! Then I realized my mom left the ad blocker off when she lended the PC to me :_) Thank you so much!!

so...I do this a lot and always comes back with results that there are no viruses. However since my computer has been acting funky I don't believe that. What are some other solutions to really dig deep into your system to look for viruses, worms, malware etc. Is it best to buy some kind of software ?

step 1 is wrong because there is no windows defender settings... wow great video m8
