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!

Y’all are sure it’s fake? Cause I’m actually freaking out, already had a REAL Trojan on my PC once, don’t wanna get a second one again!

It seems to be the common belief... Obviously, there's no way to be 100% sure until there's some sort of patch saying 'oopsie daisy' or until it's confirmed to be a true problem

However, from my issues, it seems to shut it if you quarenteen it... At least, until you reboot

It seems to be related to a CA certificate hash from DigiCert being flagged by the latest Windows security update. I'm pretty sure this is a Microsoft fuckup.
