    thanks for your reply,

    yesterday I ran a full scan and didnt find anything new.

    I removed some language packs because i didnt need them completely independent of this and restarted my computer at the end of the day. today I completed a full scan again and found no threats. thanks for your help anyways and have a good day.

    This the pirate version of the Microsoft Office and Microsoft Defender detects the crack of this application and please run a full scan as it might contains other malwares. In case you have a valid copy of Microsoft Office with the valid product key, try uninstall this version and restart your PC and install and activate the valid one.
