I ran it again and had exactly the same result: the 'Full scan in progress' screen showed a counter that incremented up to 19 files infected, but the final screen shows zero. Then it showed a final screen with zero infections. The first time, it indexed the 'Files Infected' counter up to 19 before completing scanning >2,400,000 files. I ran MSS twice using the full scan option. I'm running Windows 11 Home and downloaded Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSS) 1.379.184.0 today. Microsoft Safety Scanner finds 19 infections but reports clean I appreciate the tool just cannot trust the results. If the suspected files couldn't be submitted, then how were they cleared? Which files were suspected? Microsoft Safety Scanner Finished On Sun Apr 30 13:20:56 2023 So I was surprised that the files in question were somehow 'cleared' despite a lack of Internet connection.įailed to submit clean hearbeat MAPS report: 0x80072EE7 My computer was disconnected from the Internet during the scan. I say this as I let the tool run for over 3 hours, racking up over 20 'Files Infected'. Write to the msert log the list of possibly infected files for further review/action.Change the label to 'Possible Infected Files'.This suggests the files are infected and apparently no list of these potentially infected files are provided. As it is running it may encounter files that are suspected of being infected but indicate a count as: 'Files Infected: XX' There's a bit of a UX problem with the scanner. Microsoft Safety Scanner > Files Infected count
