Popup Attack Alert But No Attack Found

[GlenEBush]

I just got a blocked ransomware attack which said it was an “explorer.exe”. The popup said it had been quarantined but when I opened Anti-ransomware there was nothing in the quarantine. So not sure how to report this as it doesn’t fit into any guidelines I found.

I was connected to the Internet but was not online at the time. In fact, I was just finishing up with a full backup. So don’t know if this means anything to you but wanted to report. Look forward to the finished product so I can purchase to go with my regular Malwarebytes Anti-malware subscription.

I have anti-ransomware version 0.9.15.416

PS: I have Norton Security also.
