    Windows Defender detects Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos.C!cl in Firefox cache


    Is this a false positive? Its detected it at least 3 times now spanning 4 days. Each time it alerts me, I tell it to delete it, then I clear the entire Firefox cache. run Ccleaner (non-infected version) and run Malwarebytes. Only WD is detecting it.

    Running Latest Firefox with Ublock Origin

    ESET online scanner = clean
    MBAM = clean
    TDSSKiller = clean
    AdwCleaner = clean
    Windows Defender = clean (after I tell it to remove the file.)
    Kaspersky Security Scan = Clean

    Hi vram.

    When you run MBAM are you using a custom scan to scan all files and drives?

    I can't seem to find that option in the newest version, but I did go directly to the DIR in question and initiate a manual scan with MBAM and it detected nothing.

    Also ran sfc /scannow to check for file corruption. All was good.

    I the newer MBAM, click on Scan, left hand column, then Custom Scan.

    Make sure Kaspersky is also doing full scan.

    I changed MBAM to scan everything. Its coming back 100% clean.

    Well time to send to experts and let them have a go of it.

    Gotta wait for it to show up again. Hasn't returned since I manually deleted the Dir in question.

    The links that were seen on google indicated that it was a unique finding using windows defender.
    So all the other scans were clean.
    The issue is/are all of your bank accounts and passwords etc. with the uncertainty.
