Virus...please explain this virus and what it can access

Never even heard of smadav. Its website says "Smadav is an antivirus that is designed as additional (second layer) protection, so it's compatible and could be installed and run together with another antivirus in your PC." So what primary AV are you using?

Did smadav delete the supposed "script virus"? Perhaps you received an infected attachment and so it's flagging the Windows Mail app.

I suggest you scan your system with well-regarded anti-malware apps like Kaspersky and MalwareBytes instead. If you don't use the Windows Mail app you can also uninstall it using CCleaner.

It IS a virus, since i did not ask for it, and it is using (at times) at lot of resources and is not doing anything i need to be done.

The name is windowscommunicationsapps_16.4.4206.722_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

Not Windows_MailService or some normal name.

I do not use mail (in this system) so what the **** is this program busy with?

So maybe it is made by Microsoft, does not mean it categorizes as a (nasty) virus.

most important how to remove this?
