Defender Warnings- OutBrowse And Hadsruda!bit ( Help )
I have a problem. This all started with me doing two things, and Im unsure if they're related to this problem . But this started around the time I was doing both .
1. I changed the Windows > Win32 > Driver > ect > Host file, to block some advertisements. I didn't notice any problem doing that for at least two days.
2. The other thing I did, was visit a lot of malicious sites, trying to find a old copy of Flame Painter ( a drawing application ) .
I did this primarily through Microsoft Edge, and a little in Chrome.
That's around when Defender started Warning me every time I open Edge or maybe Chrome with these messages :
SoftwareBundler:Win32/OutBrowse ( That message shows twice or more in the list )
Program:Win32/Hadsruda!bit
Details for SoftwareBundler:Win32/OutBrowse >>>

Description: This program may install other potentially unwanted software.

containerfile:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\LocalCopy\{AFAD000A-666F-48CF-8A32-7918AEEB5B7D}-!Setup_Installer (Right Click and select extract).rar
file:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\LocalCopy\{AFAD000A-666F-48CF-8A32-7918AEEB5B7D}-!Setup_Installer (Right Click and select extract).rar->!Setup_Installer (Right Click and select extract)\Setup Installers.zip->Setup Installers/Framework Installer.exe
webfile:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\LocalCopy\{AFAD000A-666F-48CF-8A32-7918AEEB5B7D}-!Setup_Installer (Right Click and select extract).rar|browser_broker.exe
So this happens even with the Browsers are closed too. Defender detects that and I have no idea how bad this is or not ?
In frustration I restored my Host file, I even deleted another one that said Host.File, ( not sure if i was supposed to delete that one )
And restored to a time before this started. And still have the same issue.
I told Defender to remove the problems it Identified, but the same message appears right after its removal . I don't understand ?
Any Idea what is going on here ?
