Suma, earlier you said >>I have an automatic scan scheduled to run at night when the computer is off<<

That's like expecting your car to move when the engine has not been started.

MSSE works just fine when the computer is ON.

Why not try it right now. Since you're reading this, your computer must be on.

Double click the green icon and select 'update' then click 'update'
when finished, click the 'home' tab and select 'quick' under scan options upper right
click 'scan now' and leave the computer alone for half an hour

It will tell you when it's finished and whether it found anything malicious.

please report back here what happened

PS: thecow probably wanted a clean break and no extended goodbys. I'm glad for the years he helped you and so many others with his advice.
