Windows Defender detects and removes this threat.

Exploit:Win32/ShellCode.gen!C is a generic detection for JavaScript files that have malicious code. Generally, attackers use this malicious code to infect your computer with other malware.

These files are often downloaders which use the malicious code to exploit vulnerabilities in various software.
