Synopsis

Often, when you click on a malicious email or website, you either receive an email from Microsoft stating that "Your device is out of compliance" or you may be concerned that your workstation may be compromised.

To help bring the workstation back into compliance or to help provide peace-of-mind that your workstation hasn't been compromised, you can run a virus scan with Microsoft Defender on your workstation.

Procedure 

To run a Full Virus Scan on your workstation:
1) Open the program Windows Security from your Windows Start Menu;

2) Click on Virus & threat protection

3) Under the section Current threats, click on Scan options

4) Select Full Scan and click Scan now

Done! The virus scan will begin scanning your workstation for any threats.

Notes

A Full Scan can take up to 2 hours to complete, depending on the number of documents & files that are currently present on your laptop. 
You can continue working while the Full Scan is running.

Please note that a Full Scan can be an intensive process on the computer; you may experience the occasional slowness or non-responsiveness while the Full Scan is running.
