I ran Microsoft Security Scan and a VirTool:Win32\DefenderTamperingRestore was found and supposedly removed but other issues remain.

After the Security Scan I found the log showing the VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore and Removed which is a rootkit? I then ran a Get-MpComputerStatus command in PowerShell and found Antispyware Enabled as false even though I have an antivirus and also keep Windows Defender on as well. There were several other false statuses such as Antivirus Enabled along with 13 other false statuses. How do I fix these and have I been hacked?

    Hello,

     

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    There's a high possibility that rookit is not uninstalled fully yet. Please do another full scan with Windows defender and confirm it.

    Meanwhile, please kindly also engage help from your security team further help to clear any potential risk.

     

    Best regards，

    Jill Zhou
