Cannot see the ransomware protection section in settings

As you can see, that comes up when I try to go into the ransomware protection section through the windows search bar. I am using my own personal private network at home, and I do not understand why this is coming up, there is no IT helpdesk or admin in my home network. 
Hello Anthony_81,

My Name is Paul one of the Community Expert and a Windows User like you. I do understand that you are having issues trying to access the security settings of your computer and I assume maybe a malware is causing this unwanted pop up.

Are you still able to Launch Windows Defender and Run a full scan? If not we can try this free malware scanner to scan your pc and kindly download the free version only and run a full scan.

I have done a full scan with another anti-malware software that I have and there were no issues.
