Windows 10: Presenoker Virus detected from Windows Defender

So I installed the Nicehash Miner from Github. Now the Windows defender says it found a virus called Presenoker.
I have read, that when you download something from Github, the windows defender can be triggered by some of the files github installs.

Is that true?

Remove Win 32/Presenoker

Hi

My Windows Defender had detected Win 32/Presenoker in Torch browser. Though the app has been uninstalled, Defender continues to identify the presence of Win 32/Presenoker. The defender directs me to a file path and point to a file TourchSetup.exe that does
not exist. I tried running Malwarebytes but it did not identify presence of any PUA file. On searching through me internet, I notice that many users had same problem and they had to delete certain registry entry to get rid of the same. Can someone suggest
me how to remove the presence of Win 32/Presenoker from my system.

I use Windows 10 Home Version 2004

 

PRESENOKER

Hi! I think I have a virus on my computer. Windows Defender keeps saying it's a threat to my system. I've checked in the internet and most posts says it's quite dangerous. I might have gotten it from uTorrent but I am really not sure. Should I be worried?

The instructions I'm planning to follow is this:

Remove PUA:WIN32/PRESENOKER From Computer: Easy Steps – Malware Board

Please advise. Thanks!

 

Remove Win 32/Presenoker

Sounds like the malware problem has been handled.

Suggest you see Windows Defender Identifies The SAME PUP As A Threat Repeatedly which
might address the issue you are seeing.

GlenProuty identified and provided a work-around for this issue in June but we have not heard
when Microsoft is going to fix it.
