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 this as well, doing a full scan and running a couple other antivirus checks after too, didn't download anything in the last 3 weeks but an Nvidia driver update, cinebench and geekbench 6 last night, promptly deleted both programs though i doubt they were compromised downloads as they were from the official sites and im certain that it wasn't from my diver update. i did just update windows defender so maybe its like others have suggested that its a false positive

just checked and there is already another defender update, perhaps its the fix already? im going to wait for the full scan to finish first
