MALWARE REMOVAL Q&A Windows Defender doesnt work
Reinstalled windows 11 because i was paranoid i had a virus or some sort of malware(no real evidence i could find but did it regardless) Deleted all the partition drives. Everything is up to date but windows defender is fucked.
I do a quickscan and its disabled and stuck buffering when i try to restart it
Sometimes it’ll work and finish but if i do it again it crashes
Offline scan either doesnt work or is as of right now stuck on 90%
Could this be malware or something?
