Hi.

I keep getting constant notifications about windows defender finding a threat [launcher.exe]. I keep choosing the option to remove all threats but it keeps appearing and the constant notifications are driving me crazy. I've also tried manually removing the .exe by shift-deleting but that doesn't help. Please help.

Ps the file is located on  C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\launcher.exe

    There may be remnants in the registry or startup left by a virus, scan with these programs to try & remove them:

    MBAM: https://www.malwarebytes.com/

    Eset: http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

    Adwcleaner: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-a...

    I recommend the following 2 things:

    Scan using Malwarebytes:

    Perform a Windows Defender Offline Scan:
