Scanning for the viruses

Windows defender usually runs in the background and does its work. The third-party antivirus application can be easily launched and then an entire scan can be done.

For that right-click on the app and then select the Uninstall option. Go to Control Panel or Open Settings and go to Apps and then uninstall them and reboot your PC.
