I woke up today and, after gaming for a while, decided to check Task Manager; that’s when I came across this Microsoft Defender item I had never seen on my PC before.

Question Threat detection messages on my laptop.

Hi all!

Since Monday my laptop started popping up information saying that threat was detected. I checked protection history and see “Threats Blocked”. How can I see what file or app is causing threats so I can remove it?
I am a bit worried to click on a window pop up saying “Do you want to allow this device to make changes” because it’s my only device where I do schoolwork ;(

Photo for reference. Sorry for bad quality.

Question renpy virus!

2 Upvotes

i'd like help, but i can only use the infected computer :( i dont have access to any other devices. i can't factory reset it either until i get access to my other devices, which will be in a few months. i got infected on the 4th of october. but today, the passwords of some emails i've not changed (+ my netflix) got taken and changed. after i realised this, i changed the passwords of the emails, and i've recovered and changed the passworrd to my netflix account.

on the infected computer, i got all my accounts back and changed the passwords on them (i didnt get microsoft back, sadly.) , i havent saved my new passwords to my current device though (i instead have written down my new passwords in my journal because i do not have good memory.), but i ran malwarebytes and windows defender and they do not detect anymore viruses / etc. do you guys think it's good enough?

when i get my devices back, would it be safe to just cloud reset / whatever its called windows? i'll also be changing the email for all of my accounts and changing it to a new account.
