    Hi Nigelblue, I'm Ramesh, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

    Please mention the problem you're facing with the antivirus program. Are you referring to Microsoft Defender Antivirus?

    What anti-virus are you using? What version of Windows 11 are you using and do you keep it up to date?

    Look at your Other Updates and the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool.

    Check out Privacy & security>Windows Security and see what is showing.
