Very strange issue you’ve encountered isn’t it?

Can you submit a copy of the file to Virus Total for analysis – see if other AV scanners see a problem? https://www.virustotal.com/

Suggest you run two or more of the following scanners: List of Malware Removal Tools

If there is no malware issue identified by other scanners then you’re possibly seeing a heuristic detection that may be a false detection.

You might want to run SFC or the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

If your only issue is with Windows Defender (WD)  you might want to install a third party AV program which should disable WD. There are a number of viable free and paid options available – take your pick…

Is Windows Defender The Best For Windows 10?  Good article but ignore the ads.

But your best option might be a reset or new install of Win 10…remember you would lose any programs added since you first activated Win 10.

well, i am running avast now.  i originally used the AV provided by my ISP (TM), but it was too much of a resource hog.

i also regularly run malwarbytes and superantispyware.

all three have found nothing.

i already ran SFC, which found no problems.

just for the hell of it, i am now trying the MS safety scanner.

this was just a very weird thing--that there were almost 20 instances of that 'lodi' thing found at the same time--and also while these windows updates were failing over and over again.

ran update troubleshooter and am now trying the update process again.

will report results.

thanks for your reply.

We'd like to know if you're still experiencing the issue. May we know the result after the update? We’ll wait for any update that you can provide.

Regards.

It only happened that one time.  I am now using another AV.

I am getting this also. I have run scans and get updates continually, but after 24 hrs this comes back up.  Windows Defender Security Center seems to allow this and a couple of Trojan viruses to be placed on my pc. Stating no threats were detected but if I look in Quarantined threats there is that note of the virus. 

I am also getting a little agitated at this continuous cycle of bad threats and then them being placed on my pc. I have spent about 48 hours trying to rid my pc of this nonsense. 

I am getting these problems also. I'm loosing confidence in Microsoft and Windows. I've tried all the troubleshooters that is on their website. 

Too many hours spent on eliminating this to have it show back up in 24 hours.

Well, I've not changed AV yet, but that would be a great plan.

Thanks
