About My P.C Cleaner Program Plus Eicars?

Question

In 2026,While using the installed Microsoft Defender Antivirus on it's own,it didn't have any issues whatsoever with the possibly infected program/s that got downloaded, installed, and then explored.I then got a second opinion by using VirusTotal to do a scan of the very same downloaded programs and explored other free antiviruses one by one and saw the VirusTotal plus the other installed free antivirus were showing warning alert issues on the screen.I even explored Malwarebytes free and i also listed the download plus installed programs as being some kind of a program infected with a Trojan,as shown once the scan results were completed?,in other cases downloading, installing and exploring Eicars with no limits, is quite normal as the end result.While using another free antivirus,it always instantly removed a/all Eicar/s before it got downloaded, installed, explored?,as shown on the warning popups on the screen?An already downloaded Eicar/s was also detected and removed by the other installed free antivirus,as shown on the screen, regardless of which free antivirus i selected?.Once my computer was severly damaged by the installed virus/trojan/malware,the only way out was to fully reset the computer,as the only option left.The installed Microsoft Defender on it's own was showing 95% plus losses against computer viruses ,than 95% plus wins, as many claimed it to be in 2026?.I explored the Microsoft Offline Scan and it didn't detect any/all downloaded/installed infected program/s, including Eicars whatsoever from start to finish.I did find a few free antiviruses in 2026,but they all didn't like those very same programs and by adding the detected programs to the whitelist or the exceptions list?, simply did not work and still ended up with those detected programs automatically being redetected and removed,as shown on the screen.I have gone back to using the M.D.A on it's own,and doing a full reset of the computer as being the normal thing to do.In doing a system restore or repair before doing a full reset,noticed in every case the restore point/s was all removed, and the repair option always had a blue screen that it could not continue on any further,as shown on the screen.The free antiviruses i explored in 2026?,were Baidu,Huorong,Avast,Kaspersky,Cyradar?,Qihoo360,AhnLab Lite?,Sophos Free?,SuperAntispyware?,are just some.Where to from here?...

It seems you have experienced significant issues with malware detection and removal on your computer, particularly with Microsoft Defender Antivirus (MDA) and other free antivirus solutions. Here are some points to consider based on your situation:

1. Microsoft Defender Antivirus Capabilities: Microsoft Defender Antivirus uses advanced techniques such as anomaly detection and machine learning to identify and block malware. However, no antivirus solution is perfect, and there can be instances where certain threats slip through, especially if they are new or not yet recognized by the database.
2. Second Opinions with Other Antivirus Products: It's common practice to use multiple antivirus solutions for a second opinion, as different products may have varying detection capabilities. The results you observed with VirusTotal and other free antivirus programs indicate that they might be more sensitive to certain threats compared to Microsoft Defender.
3. EICAR Test Files: The EICAR test files are commonly used to test antivirus software. If other antivirus programs are detecting and removing these files while Microsoft Defender does not, it may indicate a configuration issue or that the definitions need updating.
4. System Restore and Repair Options: If your restore points were removed and repair options led to a blue screen, this could suggest deeper system issues, potentially caused by the malware itself. In such cases, a full reset might be necessary, as you have done.
5. Recommendations:
   • Ensure that Microsoft Defender is fully updated and consider running a full scan regularly.
   • If you continue to face issues, consider using a dedicated malware removal tool alongside your antivirus.
   • Be cautious about the sources from which you download software, as many infections come from untrusted sites.
   • Regularly back up your data to prevent loss in case of severe infections.

If you find that Microsoft Defender is consistently underperforming, you might consider evaluating other antivirus solutions that better meet your needs while ensuring they are compatible with your system.
