We are seeing a rash of BrowserModifier:JS/Spigot.G!MSR within the past two weeks on a growing number of machines in different departments. How can we know what caused this spike. Is it a signature update from Windows Defender? Thank you.

    Hi,

    You can use the Get-MpComputerStatus PowerShell cmdlet to check when the last signature update was received and which version was received.
