    Files named "threat/" found in RECENT, most days


    I think these are a result of the Defender quick scan.Properties on the files shows:Target type: windowsdefender://theat/Target location: The InternetTarget: Target type: windowsdefender://theat/When I open them in notepad it appears to be mostly binary, and contains "w i n d o w s d e f e n d e r : / / t h r e a t /"Does this mean threats were found? Because none were reported to me.Or is this just the method of checking on them?Thanks

    :)

    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
