Keep seeing messages about Trojan Win32/Occamy.C being blocked on Protection History. Should I be worried?

Hello everyone

Recentely (since the 2nd of february) I've been seeing messages on my Protection History about a threat being blocked every few days. It says that it detected the Trojan Win32/Occamy.C and that it removed it. I also see nothing about where it's located, only that a dll file has been affected on the root of my main driver. As I've said it's happening every few days and I'm just wondering if there could be anything wrong with my computer and if I should do anything about it.

Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    1
    Start Windows in Safe Mode.

    Open File Explorer, then on the View menu at the top, temporarily turn on 'Hidden Items'.

    Navigate to this folder: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service

    Delete the contents of that Service folder.

    Navigate to this folder:

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Quarantine

    Delete the contents of that Quarantine folder.

    Close File Explorer.

    2
    Restart Windows in Normal Mode.

    Open Defender and select the option to perform an offline scan, your PC will restart to perform that scan.

    Then check if that malware list is clear.

    Yes, rest assured, your system is now malware free, there is nothing further you need to do.
