Addressing TrojanDownloader:HTML/Adodb.gen!A – Steps to Secure Your Discord Cache

Recently, I encountered a concerning issue with my computer that I feel compelled to share, as I believe many users might face a similar situation. While using Windows Defender, I was alerted to the presence of a Trojan known as TrojanDownloader:HTML/Adodb.gen!A. This alarming discovery was pointed out by the software on two separate occasions, each time identifying threat files within my Discord cache.

Initially, I took the initiative to quarantine these files, hoping that this would fully eliminate the threat. In hindsight, I’m questioning whether simply removing the files might have inadvertently allowed the Trojan to re-establish itself. Today, upon restarting my computer—an action I approached with trepidation—I conducted another round of scans. To my dismay, the scans flagged two additional files in the Discord cache, indicating the Trojan’s persistence.

What complicates matters is my uncertainty regarding the root cause of this infection and the right steps to effectively address it. Currently, these suspicious files remain quarantined, but I’m seeking clarity on how to proceed.

If you’ve dealt with similar situations or have insights on effectively tackling this kind of malware, I invite you to share your expertise. I’m open to providing further details in the comments if needed. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated as I navigate this frustrating experience. Thank you!
