    Opinion on Malware Issue


    During a full scan, WD discovered Trojan Downloader: JS/VDEHU.A which was removed. Subsequent scans were negative. I normally full scan twice per week.

    - Would appreciate opinions/advice on the following.

    - How much is Defender at fault for not blocking this downloader ? Realize that no AV is perfect.

    - The trojan was located in AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/UserData/Default/Cache/f_000821(G Zip)(Script 0010)

    - Could Chrome have prevented ?

    - My search tells me it could be a false positive ? Anyone experienced the same ?


    Thanks !

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Did our Epson printer get hacked?

    Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.
