Please help!
For the last couple of months my computer keeps rebooting (saying it has to finish updates) and my Windows Defender keep starting and stopping. Is it a virus maybe?

It is a known bug with Windows 10. You can abort it. MyPC Backup is potentially unwanted software, that is why it got deleted.

How is the situation now?

Yes Windows Update seems to still be working fine. My Windows defender keeps turning on and off and my computer has rebooted three times today. I don't know what the problem is!
