RE: MS had their own anti-virus system installed on Windows 10?

Hello,

" Do I really need to install anti-virus software?" The answer to this question should always be yes. In my humble opinion, Windows Defender which comes with Microsoft Windows is quite robust but given how the malware realm is rapidly changing I would be inclined to suggest you give Sophos Home Premium a run. As soon as it's installed and up-to-date, please run a full system scan and the software should deal with any infection on the machine.

Let me know how it goes for you.

Thanks,

Vikas

sounds frustrating. you probably got some spyware and adware when you were installing things it comes packaged especially if downloading from 3rd party download services. uninstall them in Settings. windows defender usually doesn't block unwanted apps.
