    Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

    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:

    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

    VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore threat

    Threat detected: VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

    Good evening.

    Today I did a scan with Microsoft Security Scanner and it found this virus and removed it.

    Threat detected: VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore

    regkeyvalue://hklm\software\microsoft\windows defender\\DisableAntiSpyware

    SigSeq: 0x0000055555C57273

    Then I've done another scan with microsoft safety scanner, another with malwarebytes and another with kaspersky.

    They haven't found anything.

    I read here the description of the virus and it seems a false positive, linked with windows defender :

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wds.../DefenderTamperingRestore&ThreatID=2147741622

    If someone has experience with this threat can confirm that is a false positive or a real virus ?

    And if it's a real virus, or I have to do something else ?

  10. Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore caught by Windows Defender

    in AntiVirus, Firewalls and System Security
    Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore caught by Windows Defender: Just saw this show up on our virus report on one system and one critical server. Microsoft info on it is non-existent and only 5 days old, however. Anyone else see this? Is it just a false positive from turning AV off temporarily at some point in the past? Thanks in advance!...
