Windows 10: 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

Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore caught by Windows Defender

Looks like Microsoft has updated the entry on their security site - this is a catch to reconfigure real-time detection if it has been disabled. Below is what is listed on MS's site now:

Summary

This detection is for suboptimal configurations that may prevent Windows Defender Antivirus from functioning properly.

If you see this detection, a suboptimal configuration was detected, and Windows Defender Antivirus will auto-heal by automatically resetting to more secure configurations.

Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore caught by Windows Defender

Microsoft has updated their documentation since this morning indicating that it is the result of sub-optimal Windows Defender configurations. It would appear to be a false trigger:

WMPlayer win32 error

List the EXACT "blah, blah" you mention, here please... for ALL installation cases!

(Sound like a possible "DLL-Hell" issue, but "Windows File Protection" &/or "System File Protection" should have countered for this... no biggie, there's ways around that too!)

*Smile

* I have to 'step-out' now, but imo, this is the track to pursue here, & we will when I get back... so, please list that data I request!
