How to remove Malware from Win 10

To remove malware from Windows 10, you can use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, which provides comprehensive endpoint protection, detection, and response capabilities. It helps reduce the chances of infection and automatically removes threats that it detects. If you encounter a malware infection, Microsoft Defender will alert security operations teams about suspicious activities and attempt to resolve the issue.

If threat removal is unsuccessful, you can refer to troubleshooting resources for detecting and removing malware. Additionally, backing up files with OneDrive for Business can help you restore files in the event of an infection.

To find answers to your question on the Microsoft Q&A platform, you can search for your question directly in the Q&A section. If someone has answered your question, it should be visible under the question thread.

Hello Harry. To delete malware from your device in Windows 10, Microsoft recommends using the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT). Each month, MSRT is updated by Microsoft to focus on some of the most common malware out there. If you believe your computer is infected or is acting strange, consider downloading and executing the standalone version of MSRT. This will allow for malware scan and cleanup. MSRT can be used in addition to Windows Defender, but it does not replace full protection with antivirus.

If you're looking for something deeper, consider using Microsoft Safety Scanner. You could also boot into Safe Mode and use Windows utilities to clean up the infection. Ensure you are prompting Windows Update to regularly allow MSRT to run in the background so check your settings to see if it is enabled.
