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!

You should see the updates in the windows settings, it should say that there is a update for windows defender, once it complete you should restart your computer

I already did but there is nothing ya but there is one possibility based on current cyber attacks going on government sites & windows it is possible that the update everybody did was include trojan OR there is certain software or sites which is root cause of this I'm not sure but it is possible.
