    Malware Detected on Microsoft.com

    Hello,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    As per the description, you are experiencing issue with malwares detected on Microsoft.com and gets an error message: “Google Safe Browsing recently detected malware on account.microsoft.com.
    Websites that are normally safe are sometimes infected with malware. The malicious content comes from 38zu.cn, a known malware distributor” on the system.

    I certainly understand your concern.

    I would suggest you to run a full computer scan with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus free.

    Microsoft Safety Scanner, please follow the steps in the link provided below.

    Microsoft Safety Scanner Download - Windows security

    Note: Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.

    I hope this information is helpful.



    Please do let us know if you need any further assistance, we will be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

    Is there a way to make W10's malware scanner prompt me what to do with its detections...

    malware detected

    I’m not sure what the “META” alert indicates.
    Let’s see if resolving the malware detection will fix it.

    The malware detection may be in a browser. Any new browser extensions that need to be disabled?

    Any new programs/apps just installed that might contain adware?

    Empty temporary internet files, restart the computer, manually update WD and run a Quick Scan.

    Anything new in Startup that needs to be disabled?

    If the malware detections continue suggest you try the following free independent scanners:

    AdwCleaner: AdwCleaner

    Emsisoft Emergency Kit: Как обнаружить и удалить угрозы с помощью Emsisoft Emergency Kit | Emsisoft | Security Blog

    Other scanners that may help are listed at List
    of Malware Removal Tools

    AND/OR

    See How to remove malware from Windows (Virus Removal Guide)

    Note that you may need to reset your browsers - - -

    http://www.howtogeek.com/237527/how-to-reset-microsoft-edge-in-windows-10/

    If the issue continues open Defender, look in All Detected Items and copy the name of the malware and complete file path and tell us about the malware.

    You may also want to submit a copy of the file to VirusTotal for analysis:

    Please post back in this thread if the malware issue continues.

    Good luck...
