Computer Invaded By The Greeks

I went to remove them but they have all gone. I had left the computer turned on and the Windows Defender page open. But, when I clicked on it to deal with the threat(s) there was nothing listed. Windows Defender is now saying there are no threats

It says last checked today at 14:08 (it's now 14:44).

However, in Windows Security in Virus & threat protection under Virus & threat protection updates it says, "Security intelligence is up to date". The last update was 10/02/2024 12:39. However, I think that was me manually clicking on "Click for updates" last Saturday (10th).

This PC does offer me Windows Updates when they are available. I then allow it to install the update. However, the update always fails and that is why I manually update it when it informs me an update is available. Obviously, I don't know if an update will run as it should until the next time any are offered.

The virus and threat protections never update unless I manually click on "Click for updates". What makes me think that is a problem is because my other PC automatically updates the virus and threat protections every day.

I don't know if the difference is the operating system versions. My laptop, which is the computer we have been working on runs Windows 10 (and doesn't meet the requirements for updating to Windows 11).

The other PC, that is fine, is a desktop operating under Windows 11.

I attach the Results in a pdf file.

 

I apologise but I did attach the pdf file. I don't know why it wasn't with the previous post. Here's another attempt.

 

Urgh now it attaches twice to one post.

 

I ran Windows Update and I'm not sure if you would call this a problem.

It offered me quite a few updates. At one point it asked that I do a restart so I did. It left only one update, Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Ssytems (KB5034763). It downloaded but it said on the screen Downloaded 100% and stayed like that for over an hour. I thought this is not going to change to I restarted the PC. After the restart I opened Windows Update which now said the above update was installing. When it said the instal had reached 44% it requested I restart the PC so I did.

It is now saying that Windows is up-to-date.

 

Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate all the time and effort that's gone in to helping me. I have no remaining questions or concerns.

Do threads in the specialist forum get closed? I know in some other fora threads can be closed. I'm only asking as I'll feel happier Windows will update itself next there's an update available. So if there is an issue (hoping there won't be) next time it tries to update I can re-visit this thread and say it's not working as it should.

Thanks!
