foreign hackers

• Can you provide more detail?
• Who told you foreign hackers corrupted your system?
• Who says you need to buy an SQL SERVER?
• How did this whole situation play out?

 

Windows defender false positive - forced to allow threat


Windows defender has started to identify C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe as a threat [normally reported as a Trojan Powessere.G]. I use mshta.exe to run an hta custom MsgBox - I have been hoping to keep using my current CustomMsgBox tool [batch file calling a vbs-hta file] until later this year when I hope to have had enough time to replace it with a PowerShell alternative.

Windows defender's notification lets me "allow the threat" but that seems to me to be a bigger security hole than is necessary - it will now ignore a potentially real intrusion when all I want to run is a genuine Windows component. My immediate problem is fixed but I would prefer to fix the false positive using the exclusions list.

I cleared the 'Allowed threats history' so I could use the exclusions list instead. I added C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe to the file exclusions list and I checked that it had taken properly by checking the exclusions list both in the UI & in the Registry. But the exclusion made no difference, it continued to detect and block the exe.

I have repeated the attempt several times [by clearing the allowed threats list & exclusions list beforehand] and the results are the same every time
- allowing the threat works,
- using the exclusions list has no effect.

I studied the relevant tutorial but have not spotted an error in what I have been doing - Add or Remove Windows Defender Exclusions

Does anybody with experience of using the exclusions list to counter false positives have any suggestions for me?

held hostage by hacker.

I've had a hacker enter my peace of retirement. He took my name info. Then started pressure threats . When I reported him after 6 months of blocks . Then google became worse than the hacker. It's my fate the Facebook page g plus you tube acct contacts
were all moved into his takeover. He has turned off power,forced my r v to be moved, closed and destroyed 7 computers and phones. He isn't done yet google thinks I'm the hacker I reported
