Summary
Microsoft Defender Antivirus detects this threat.
This detection is used to monitor suspicious or malware-like behavior on your PC. It is a generic detection, which means the malicious behaviors can greatly vary.
If we receive a significant number of reports about this suspicious behavior, we will add a specific detection and include a more detailed analysis.
Use the following free Microsoft software to detect and remove this threat:
- Microsoft Defender Antivirus for Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, or Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows 7 and Windows Vista
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
You should also run a full scan. A full scan might find hidden malware.
Use cloud protection
Use cloud protection to help guard against the latest malware threats. It’s turned on by default for Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender for Windows 10.
Go to All settings > Update & security > Windows Defender and make sure that your Cloud-based Protection settings is turned On.
