Windows 10: Windows 10 Defender suddenly acts up

I've been using a Ledger program for years on Windows 7 and now Windows 10, over 7 years. Windows Defender, as of today, Jan 1, 2020, suddenly thinks it has a Trojan virus and quarantined it. - Trojan:Win32/Fuery.C!cl. I was in the middle of putting in some data, after many hours! and didn't want to lose the work... so I recovered it and kept working till done. Now I've printed it off and also sent a copy to Dropbox. I truly don't want to lose this file.


What should I do now? Should I actually delete the file? What about the entire program by the way, it's not an app, so not connected to internet. Can a file on a program suddenly 'get' a virus after I've been working in it for a full year? Or, why didn't Defender detect it earlier?

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

ACT Pro 2013 will not open in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

The most likely causes on a standalone are a damaged or invalid .pad file or SQL is not running, or is damaged.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue persists.

• • 
    Click your Windows Start button, choose Run and type in actdiag.
    

• • 
    When ACT! Diagnostics comes up, click Databases, the Database List.
    

• • 
    Locate your database in the list, right-click on it and select Detach. Make sure you know the filepath to your database before detaching it.
    

• • 
    When the database has been detached, open My Computer (or Windows Explorer) and browse to the location of your database.
    

• • 
    Locate the .PAD file for your database [database name].pad and delete it.
    

• • 
    Reopen ACT!...you will get a message that the last database opened cannot found, then will be taken to the Open Database dialog box.
    

• • 
    At the bottom of this box, change the Files of Type to .adf, browse to the location of your database and double-click on the .adf file for your database.
    

• • 
    You will get a message that ACT! will verify your database, click OK and ACT will reattach your database to SQL and create a new .pad file.
    
  • 
    Hope this helps.
