Summary
This is a detection of a trojan that takes advantage of a vulnerable or malicious driver to tamper with or stop security-related programs.
Users should take the following steps to mitigate the threat:
- Keep your system, including antivirus programs and web browsers, updated. Regular updates are important for improved detection accuracy.
- Use only trusted, well-known websites to reduce the risk of malicious programs. Turn on your antivirus to help detect infected or hacked sites.
- Turn on Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity (HVCI) or Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC)—or deploy new devices that have the security features on by default. Consider allowing only known safe software.
