Trojan in Spotify folder! False positive?

Trojan in Spotify folder! False positive?

Windows defender found this today. I have not downloaded anything on my computer recently.

 

Did a full scan on windows defender and one on malwarebytes and nothing gets detected anymore.

 

Is there a chance this was a false positive? 

 

Thanks!

Hey @AndyLK!

Thank you for reaching out 🙂 

 

Since you haven’t downloaded anything recently, this could just be a false positive.

 

So in this case, I’d recommend doing a clean reinstall of the app to make sure all cache files are cleared out and you’re running the latest version.

Keep me in the loop!
