Hello H.R.Oswald,
Can you provide the name of the 'things'.
Since you don't say what the error message number is, I'm guessing, but I
would imagine the detections are either in an archive file (zip type
compressed file) which Defender doesn't remove, since such files could
contain other wanted/needed information, or they are in a restore folder
which also isn't touched by Defender, or they are in a quarantine fºlder.
All occurrences are harmless in that state but could cause a problem if
uncompressed or restºred.
You should see what files are involved by examining the system event lºg:
Do a start, run, eventvwr.msc, **click OK**, then click ºn
**System**, then View, then Filter, and scroll down the " event sºurce"
control to reach Windefend, that will give you a view of just Windows
Defender-related events.
Look for events with yellow triªngles
Then make a decision as to either deleting/ignoring/manually cleaning them
or in the other case emptying your restore folder and creating a new restore
point as described in these fºrums.
For the benefit of the community reading this post, please rate the pºst.
I hope this post is helpful.
Let us know how it works ºut.
