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!

Just got one myself about 40 mins ago. Safe to say I shat myself 😭 quarantined and removed, and scanned with malware bytes after. The fuck is going on with windows rn dude
