Suggestions for Getting Rid of a Peculiar Virus

I have a virus on my old hard disk that MSert, MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and Windows Defender either will not detect, or will not touch. WD is the only anti-virus that would even detect this virus, but wouldn't remove it. When I got the toast notification that it had been found and to click for options, I got this:



Which surprised the hell out of me. I am the "IT administrator" and I am "El Super User" on my machine. Nothing has been limited in any way. At least not by me.

I am wondering if there is a way to get rid of this virus somehow. I did a clean install to a new hard drive, but that is turning into a nightmare. My old installation was running like a top, except for this virus I can't get rid of.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent anti-virus? Something with some teeth that will take on this thing?

What is the name of this virus you think you have?
From the looks of the background window Defender has detected a potentially unwanted app, not a virus.
Such an app is restricted due to it's potential to mess about with settings that could cause Windows to fail in some way, but such interference is usually initiated by the user, not the app.

What have you installed lately that might be such an app? Any 3rd party monitoring, customisation tools or browser extensions?

The message about the IT Administrator limiting acccess can be caused by a 3rd party app/ utility or by user settings (just changing some defaults can do it) and is not in itself a sign of anything suspicious.

More detail is required for anyone to help you.

Being a Malware Removal Specialist i would like to know what Defender claimed it to be ?
Also have you ran AdwareCleaner ?
Malwarebytes AdwCleaner >>> Download AdwCleaner

Please download AdwCleaner and save it to your Desktop
* Close all open programs and browsers
* Right click on the icon and select Run as administrator
* Click Scan now
* Allow the program to Quarantine what it finds except for Pre-installed applications if you would like to keep those or other entries you would like to keep
* When completed click View Scan Log File
* Copy and paste the contents in your reply
* Click Skip Basic Repair if it appears then close the program

Thanks !

Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the supposed app or virus as I couldn't get past the screen I posted above for any details. Windows Defender will not let me look at it.

The only thing that I installed prior to this problem was Macrium Reflect. Then I had a whole host of other problems that prompted this adventure in the first place.

@flashh4 I will reconnect the drive and try AdwCleaner. Maybe that will work. Thank you for the tip.
