Unlocked Padlock/Padlock on the "My Computer in devices and drives"

[noyaus]

Hey Guys, hope you are well. Can you tell me what this means. Is it bad because I don't think the drive should be locked. Here is an image of what I mean. i hope it's not bad.
I did have some weird program on my laptop. Which I got rid of cause it was bad, Trend Micro warned me of it and I got rid of it. Do you want me to check files etc?

Are you saying that everything is good? Thank you very much, I was so scared about my laptop. I accidently clicked on something that was a virus and trend Mirco stopped it which is good. I ran some whole computer scans and everything (luckily trend micro and windows defender was there to help me.) So while scanning I went to look at drive and saw there was a padlock, I was scared out of my heads at this moment and when Trend Mirco said all clear of any virus after whole computer scan i just wanted to check if the padlock meant files had been accessed.

Would you also know a way to make sure a virus is completely gone when they says its gone?

Is your installation of Trend Micro's anti-virus up to date? If so, then I would assume a clean scan would indicate the threat has been removed. You can also scan with Windows Defender (built into Windows) and an alternate tool like Malwarebytes (for any additional malware).

There are some on-line sites that you can use to scan your system with multiple anti-virus scan engines. See here for more info:

To answer your earlier question regarding the icon indicator. Looks like you are okay:

BitLocker on: Drive is encrypted and keys are protected.

Yes my installation of AVG is up to date. I have done a whole computer scan and it said it was clean. i will do a scan with Windows Defender just to make sure.
