    Hi Yasin,

    I suspect that you are seeing a false positive, generated by Microsoft Defender only.

    If the Microsoft Safety Scanner did not detect the malware, that is nearly certain.

    The Scanner and Defender use the same definitions. What one detects, so should the other.

    If the scanner did not detect the malware, you can eliminate the alerts by deleting Detection Histroy

    from Defender's Protection History.

    This link supplies instructions for doing that...

    Good luck, Glen

    Hi YasinHass,

    I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.

    I recommend that you use Microsoft Safety Scanner to remove these threats.

    You can download it from the link below.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/securi...

    If that didn't help, please take a screenshot of the notification then share it here.
