Good afternoon. I'm having a problem with trying to remove 2 Threats on Windows Security app. It shows 2 current threats:  1. PUA:Win32/Rostplay and 2. PUA:Win32/InstallCore.  Windows Security detects them but when  I start the recommended action to remove them, they aren't remove. They're unable to be remove. Any suggestion I would appreciate. Thank you in advance for your attention. Have a great day.

Regards,

Pedro

    Hi there PedroJimenez , I will be your Independent Advisor for today, I hope we can both resolve your problem.

    Can you please try to update your Virus and Threat Protection by opening the Window Security.

    And also please try to follow the additional steps below to clean up your PC.

    Lets start by downloading the free version of Malwarebytes, it is a freeware that you can use to scan, detect and delete viruses like the one you currently have.

    You can download the free version from this link

    https://www.malwarebytes.com/

    Once installed please make a full scan. You may remove this software once you are done with it.

    And follow these additional steps.

    To get rid of it we need to check first where the file is located most likely it is hiding in one of your folders.

    If it pops up do not close it instead open up the Task Manager, click on more details below then look for the open process associated with the pop up, if you cant see it in the process tab go to the details tab and look for that process then if you see right click it and then go to file location and then once you have located the file delete it.

    Remove temp files and unwanted addons in internet explorer.

    Go to start type in Internet options, Under General, Browsing History click Delete, Tick the box for Temporary file, History and Cookies then click delete. Go to the Programs Tab then click on manage add-ons, look for any unusual addin there then remove it.

    Uninstall an unwanted application in Programs and features,

    Go to start type in Control Panel, then go to Programs and then programs and features then go to the list of the programs look for anything unusual or any application that you are not aware right click then uninstall.

    Delete Temporary files off Windows 10.

    Tap Windows Key then R on your keyboard, on the Run box type in %temp% then press enter.

    Once it is up highlight all then delete, if there is a file open that cant be deleted just skip it.

    Hope this helps.
