  1. Help with VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore


    So I've been getting these Windows Security notifications that tell me that I have this malware called "VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore", but every time I remove it, it always comes back. I've read a different thread about this, and there was a solution to open up cmd, run it as administrator, and type REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" /v DisableAntiSpyware, but it always says "The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value". Can anyone help out? I'm on Windows 10, 64 bit if that helps.

    :)

  2. Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

    Hi there.

    Anybody can help me with how to clean my computer from this virus:
    Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

    Usually, when I run MSERT.exe it says that this virus was eliminated. But I have some questions:

    a) Is it a memory-resident malware?

    b) Is it launched in my computer startup?

    c) Or is it activated when I run some software. How can I know which software is launching it? I guess that MSERT must know.

    d) Where it is located?

    e) How can I delete it?

    f) FINALLY.......IS IT DANGEROUS? (For example, Is my computer safe to use it with my credit card payments)

    Regards

    Hello I am an independent advisor for the Microsoft community. I did a quick search and found that this isn't actually a virus, it's actually Windows Defender notifying you about your settings. Here is the page with more info:

  10. Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore caught by Windows Defender

    in AntiVirus, Firewalls and System Security
    Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore caught by Windows Defender: Just saw this show up on our virus report on one system and one critical server. Microsoft info on it is non-existent and only 5 days old, however. Anyone else see this? Is it just a false positive from turning AV off temporarily at some point in the past? Thanks in advance!...
