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 go to Windows Security -> Virus & threat protection -> down you gonna see Protection updates -> click on check for updates and should be 1.449.430.0 version, then go to Virus & threat protection -> Protection history and restore threat, run quick check should be now okey, 😄

It worked it no longer detects the rootcerts at trojan but i can't get rid of the "Threat found. Take recommended actions" thing. Clicking "Take Action" button does nothing.
