Examples
Example 1: Get a known threat from the definitions catalog
PS C:\> Get-MpThreatCatalog -ThreatID 1994
This command gets the known threat that has the ID 1994.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command
prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the
*-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the
Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
