This morning, many people around the world saw Microsoft Defender warning about a recurring threat. Many Reddit users they reported the threat from Microsoft Defender, but also that it continues to appear and repeat itself despite Microsoft's security software showing that it blocked it. alleged threat blocked.
The threat appears in a popup message which states that “Behavior:Win32/Hive.ZY” has been detected and is “severe”. However, after taking steps to correct the problem, the message does not disappear. The reminder can return after 20 seconds, with the cycle repeating endlessly.
But this detection is a false positive, according to one Microsoft Support Forum… From DaveM121, an Independent Consultant: it's a bug currently being reported by hundreds of people right now, and it seems to be related to all ProletterChromium-based browsers and Electron-based apps like Whatsapp, Discord, Spotify, etc.
