trojan windows defender
I change over to windows defender a few months ago and I just had my first fake trojan.
I just go to very safe sites and got hit with the fake trojan, sorry, forgot to write any info down.
I had seen it before on friends computers and cleaned it out, it wants you to call the number but all you have to do is disconnect from net and turn off computer, turn on computer and run ccleaner and defender, running mrt now.
My question is how did it get passed defender, I know some web sites get a hidden infection and if you go there you could get infected but how did defender let it in, it may be new code in it but it is an old one, just turn off pc.
I know antivirus just plays catch up before they can write code to stop something, still I am wondering why it got through.
I am probably in the top ten percent for safe computing.
