Windows 10: Possible Trojan Virus

I run Windows 10 Home on my Lap Top.

In Windows Settings/Windows Security/Virus & Threat Protection/Protection History under "All recent items" it shows “Remediation incomplete” and status as "severe" in respect of a Trojan virus.

Originally when I received the virus alert, I received a message after a circle (with what appears to be a 1 in it) saying “This threat or app has been allowed and will not be remediated in the future”.

Further, the status showed as “failed” with the further message “This threat or app might not be completely remediated”.

It also said “Threat detected: Trojan/HTML/FakeAlert.B” “Alert Level: Severe” “Category: Trojan” “Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker”

Further more, it said“Affected items:"

“Containerfile: C:\Users\David\Downloads\This computer is BLOCKED.html”

“file: C:\Users\David\Downloads\This computer is BLOCKED.html->(UTF-8)”

webfile: C:\Users\David\Downloads\This computer is BLOCKED.html|”

“about:internet|pid:10616,ProcessStart:132129665106099359”

I have no allowed threats shown in Windows Security. Further, In Windows Security I ran both Defender full and Offline scans on my computer – these detected no threats.

I also checked for any program that may have been installed on my computer and found nothing untoward.

I also ran Malwarebytes and HitmanPro_x64 and again nothing untoward.

I mainly use Google Chrome with an Adblocker as my browser but also Microsoft Edge from time to time.

Do I have an issue in terms of the Trojan on my computer and if so what else can I do to get rid of it even out of Protection History? Many thanks in anticipation someone can help me with this.

New Trojan that Demands a Ransom

There is a new virus out there discovered by virus hunters known as "Cryzip". The Trojan encrypts your files and then demands a $300 ransom for the decryption password to get your files back. After encrypting the files, the virus leaves a nice step-by-step guide of how to go about paying the ransom off. It's supposedly spread through email Spam, and has successfully evaded anti-virus scanners.
