Understanding and Dealing with TrojanDownloader:HTML/Adodb.gen!A Threats in Discord Cache
Recently, I encountered a concerning situation involving a potential malware infection identified as TrojanDownloader:HTML/Adodb.gen!A, flagged by Windows Defender. This particular threat raised alarms when it was detected within my Discord application cache files.
Initially, I was able to isolate the threat, as Windows Defender quarantined it upon discovery. However, in my attempt to manually remove the files, I inadvertently may have reactivated the Trojan. Following this, I was apprehensive about starting my computer for the fear of further infection.
Upon re-booting, I performed additional scans, only to find that the malware reappeared in two new Discord cache files. At this juncture, I find myself uncertain about the next steps to effectively deal with this issue.
The files are still in quarantine, but I need guidance on how to proceed. Should I permanently delete the quarantined files? How can I ensure that my system remains secure moving forward? I’m eager to gather insights and recommendations on how to eradicate this threat completely. If any of you have dealt with similar issues or have expertise in malware removal, your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to ask for any details you might need from me to provide assistance. Thank you for your help!
