[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 974061, member: 32260"] It is probable that you have non-default settings related to Defender actions. Normally the threats that are detected as severe are managed by Defender automatically. When I download the Eicar sample from [URL]https://secure.eicar.org/eicar.com[/URL], then it is initially blocked by SmartScreen. After choosing to keep it anyway it is downloaded but automatically removed by Defender. I do not use DefenderUI, so maybe it restored the default Defender's actions on your computer. Did you use Edge, Chrome, or another web browser when this issue occurred? [/QUOTE]
