    Hello,We are having some computers who are getting VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore defender alert. The alert indicates a change in the registry something to do with "DisableAntiSpyware" We know that this alert is not malware, but it's pretty anoying that alot of computers are getting this alert but we don't know where the root cause is.We can clear the alert / resolve it, but after a reboot / certain time the alert is coming back. And it's unclear what is causing the issue.Are there tools to trace this further down?

    :)

    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:
