    Hi Helpmefastt

    Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

    On the resulting list, right click Command Prompt and select 'run as Administrator'

    Paste each of these commands into Command one at a time and press Enter, wait for each command to complete, before running the next command, if you receive an error on any command, ignore that and continue to the next command . . .

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\real-time protection\DisableBehaviorMonitoring" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" /v DisableAntiSpyware

    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f

    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Policies" /f

    Then, close Command Prompt and restart (not shut down) your PC . . .

    Hi Tunachn,

    I do not believe that "Vir Tool" is actually a "virus". I think it is just a notification that

    something within Defender is not as it should be.

    In your case, "DisableBehaviorMonitoring" is that which is wrong. As shown in your

    screenshot. I expect that you have already scanned for viruses, repeatedly. So other

    existing malware should not be present.

    You can correct BehaviorMonitoring, and check for other conditions that might cause

    "Vir Tool" to repeat, by using Windows PowerShell (Admin).

    Open PowerShell (Admin) by right-clicking "Start" and select it. In PowerShell, type this Cmdlet.

    Get-MpComputerStatus and hit <enter> You should see a list that looks like this...

    Image

    Compare this list to the one you that you just created. You will find that DisableBehaviorMonitoring

    will have the status of FALSE in your list. The only other item with status of FALSE should be "VirtualMachine".

    If you have any others with the status of FALSE, they will cause "Vir Tool" to repeat.

    To correct DisableBehaviorMonitoring, you will need to run another Cmdlet in PowerShell.

    Type Set-MpPreference -DisableBehaviorMonitoring $False and hit <enter>.

    If you found any others with the status of FALSE, they will need to be corrected also. Please respond

    for instructions for correcting them.

    To leave PowerShell type Exit <enter>.

    Restart your PC and access Defender again.

    Good luck, Glen
