    Wacatac.A!ml and Wacatac.B!ml keep getting detected by Microsoft Defender Antivirus


    I keep getting notified that Microsoft Defender Antivirus has detected Wacatac.A!ml and Wacatac.B!ml. No matter how many times I click remove or quarantine I keep getting popups telling me it's been detected again. What can I do to get rid of the trojan and the constant notifications?

    :)

    what is Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.G!ml

    Whilst the virus was DETECTED on the 25th, it is likely that you were infected before this - before the Windows Defender definitions were updated. When this happens it may take a full scan or illicit activity before it will be detected.

    Here is the Microsoft information for this detection
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?Name=Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.G!ml&ThreatID=2147749376

    You will see from the link, the hacker can choose what action to take. You have to assume that pictures, videos, credit card details, etc, are all vulnerable.
