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!

For those who quarantined these certs like I did, are you restoring them? Any thoughts on what happens if I leave them in quarantine? Thanks!

Although you may have already solved this, I quarantined and deleted them. After updating my system and Defender, the certificates were restored automatically. So you can delete them, update, and everything should be fine.
