When it occurs, a message stating that malware was found on your device is displayed, or you receive a message in Windows Security notifying you that additional cleaning is required. Windows Security detects rootkits or other highly persistent malware on your Windows PC and alerts you to use Microsoft Defender Offline.The offline scan runs from outside the normal Windows kernel so it can target malware that attempts to bypass the Windows shell, such as viruses and rootkits that infect or overwrite the master boot record (MBR). This feature is a powerful offline scanning tool that runs from a trusted environment, without starting your Windows system. Microsoft Defender Offline is a built-in Windows 10 component. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you use use an up-to-date certified antivirus product. These scanners are strictly a post-infection removal tools. These additional security scanners do not replace your antivirus product such as Windows Defender (Windows 10) or any other certified antivirus.
