Those that utilize Windows Defender for their antivirus tool are advised to update it presently.
Your computer may become infected by a worm that is the result of a weakness that was found in Windows Defender, once the program has scanned the infected file. Therefore, not needing to be opened for it to be able to infect your computer.
This can be resolved by clicking on the “Update Definitions” button located under the “Update” tab in the Windows Defender program. The issue is then resolved after the update is completed.
To avoid further risk to your computer’s health, it is strongly advised that the program be updated immediately. Especially due to the possibility that the virus may be affecting many other antivirus programs as well.
Key Takeaways:
- A vulnerability has been discovered that allows a worm to infect your computer, as Windows Defender scans the file to see if its infected. You do not need to open it, for it to infect your computers.
- I highly recommended that you do this ASAP as I am sure right now these worms are being written and released.
- It appears that many other antivirus software has been updated yesterday, almost certainly for the same reason. I recommend that you upgrade your antivirus software ASAP.
