Thank you, @Porthos that explains the heuristic but still not sure as to why I had unspecified malware with no information and it came up as nothing in the txt report… is that a bug with the same setting?

Thank you for your help Maurice you’ve been great! So we can conclude from this that it was a fp for the “malware” that did not exist due to using the advanced setting. Although it still is weird that I’ve always had that enabled. Scanned with multiple scanners looked through logs and it does seem like fp for both the quarantined file from last week and for the empty malware. So we can say this is solved?

Okay, so defender is updated it updated with the other windows update. Quick scan does not detect anything. Ran another Hitmanpro scan nothing comes up for pc scan and also ran sophosscanandclean and nothing came up on there either. Must've been a FP; I was chasing my tail all day haha. Just a bit confused why that malware no dest or info came up I even scanned the day before that and the pc was off.

That adobePI cab file is part of a program. I scanned that file with virustotal to make sure and there was no hits so possibly a false negative? It is a heuristic report so it may be? Im just wondering if that blank malware with no destination or information was a bug with the use expert agorithms... I did just update windows and just restarted so everything is up to date now along with the file rename operations. Reguardless, I submitted the new report after updating restarting and disabling that setting. Scan.txt

In addition to my last post, I downloaded the tool and ran a virustotal report and one vendor came up as static ai- suspicious sfx is this normal?

thank you for responding, yes this is an organization although we are rather small. Should I private message you this zip file not sure if it will show any sensitive data or anything else. We scan this computer two times a day and only had one item in quarantine in the last 30 days of which was a cab file which came negative on virus total after a full system scan.

Hello, I recently scanned our pcs for our dept and one came up with unspecified malware with no location or information. I saved the report and quarantined it… in the txt file it says there was 0 detections on any basis and says nothing was quarantined. Looking back in malwarebytes there is nothing quarantined. I scanned with defender and hit man pro and nothing came up but some internet cookies. Also, I scanned with malware bytes multiple times afterwords. I read on this forum it can be due to using expert algorithms and it is a fp. Just want to make sure we are all good here.
