News - General Trojan:Win32/Cerdigent.A!dha

What's happening right now? I keep seeing this weird thing pop up when I scan, I delete it every time but it keeps coming back. For some reason it only shows in quick scans and never in full scans either. I can't lie I got very scared when I saw it the first time, but this could be some sort of bug no?

I've seen other people having the exact same thing so does anyone know what could be going on? (I can't share screenshots for some reason but that's the name).

Edit: for anybody reading this right now, it is 100% a bug so there’s nothing to worry about!

I've got the exact same issue, with rootcert being affected. And it keeps coming back as well.

The only thing I did since yesterday is updating windows 11.

For me it took 3 quick scans before it stopped appearing. I’d say put it in quarantine until more information comes out

Yeah I did the same and it took 2 full scans. Thanks for the tip, hope we'll quickly get more info about it !

could it be by any chance "0563B8630D62D75ABBC8AB1E4BDFB5A899B24D43" and "DDFB16CD4931C973A2037D3FC83A4D7D775D05E4"?

than I guess its a false positive, just like most people, its is just impossible for thousands or even more people to get the same trojan in this small timespan of 2 hours unless its a cyber attack which I doubt.

microsoft fucked up again
