by Guest MarkTiede- 0 replies
- 69 views
I did a factory reset of my phone several times. Apparently, after the reset and adding MS Defender app, each time added another instance of my phone to the list of devices and I have hit the limit of devices for Defender. Now I can't get into Defender on the phone to get to the Dashboard to remove the extra devices.How can I remove them? Can I do this from the web? I tried on the PC, but the MS Defender was replaced with Windows Security and I don't see any place to manage the devices.Now what? Continue reading...

Windows Defender does not remove EUS:Win32/CustomEnterpriseBlock!cl
by Guest Neil Benson - Customery- 0 replies

I'm running Windows 11 (10.0.22621) and Windows Defender reports that EUS:Win32/CustomEnterpriseBlock!cl has been detected in C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\performancedriverextension.inf_amd64_855afcb772286e68\Service\OpenHardwareMonitorLib.sys.After I select 'Quarantine' or 'Remove' then 'Start Action', Windows Defender does its thing then prompts me to restart. Shortly after I restart, Windows Defender warns me that EUS:Win32/CustomEnterpriseBlock!cl has been detected in C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\performancedriverextension.inf_amd64_855afcb772286e68\Ser Continue reading...

Windows Security's Smart App Control is blocking a msys mingw file
by Guest dariushmazlumi- 0 replies
- 77 views
I got "Part of this app has been blocked: some features of "C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\g++.exe" may not work because we can't confirm who published collect2.exe that the app tried to load" when trying to compile my code which during its compilation a file located at "C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\12.2.0\collect2.exe" was needed, hence leading to failure. I'm not 100% certain for this to be a false positive, but I doubt a file in a well-known open-source project, featured by Microsoft itself to be malware. Continue reading...

When I woke up, I received this beautiful email from Google stating that "Google account accessed by suspicous app". Here is the email for reference: Maybe a false positive? Please help. If someone accesses my Google account that would be a true nightmare come true. But what I find suspicous is that I fully shutdown my computer, it is literally in my room, with the psu COMPLETELY turned off and I never used the device that late. I used it till 10-30. So how possibly could've it got access to my Gmail account. In the email I also see it says that it's a Windows device and I only have one. So pl Continue reading...

Random drive file download
by Guest Blaster57- 0 replies
- 60 views
I was browsing a streaming site that had a lot of pop up ads and might not have been the most trustworthy. Then randomly a file with no name or description, only a windows drive icon started downloading and got instantly canceled without giving me any information. I checked the downloads tab on chrome but the file was not shown in anyway. Is it possible for a virus to fake its download being canceled and being installed anyway? Or am I just overly paranoid? I have scanned my computer with windows defender and a free version of malware bytes, both found no virus. However I’m still a bit sketche Continue reading...

Windows Defender Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml keeps popping up, even after going through multiple other scans which show: no threat detected
by Guest Emiel O.- 0 replies
- 62 views
Hello,I came here mainly to ask whether my Windows Defender can issue false positives because that is what it looks like to me. Since yesterday I have gotten continuous notifications (every 20 minutes or so when I use the laptop) about the mentioned Trojan script being detected and deleted by Windows Defender. According to Windows defender, it was located in my Temp files, like C:\Windows\Temp\NAV6E77.tmp. Every time it was detected it would be in a different NAV.tmp location. I never had this before since I started using this Acer Travelmate | X in 2018 and to be fair I was quite concerned. H Continue reading...
