Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, September 5 (Xinhua)-- Microsoft Defender recently pushed a viral library definition update (signature update) that caused false positives intercepted by the code name "Win32 / Hive.ZY" every time users opened Google browser, Microsoft Edge, Discord and other Electron framework-based applications in Windows.

The problem began on Sunday morning, when Microsoft pushed Defender update 1.373.1508.0, adding two new threat tests, including "Behavior:Win32 / Hive.ZY", to detect potentially malicious files.

But this update led to another large-scale manslaughter of Microsoft Defender, including Google Chrome / Microsoft Edge and other software was automatically blocked. Even users using Google browser to open Microsoft's official website will pop up danger tips, most of which are reported to Behavior:Win32 / Hive.ZY. And both Windows 10 and Windows 11 are affected, and Microsoft Defender intercepts initiations and access when the alarm pops up.

CTOnews.com learned that Microsoft has released Microsoft Defender security intelligence update 1.373.1537.0, which seems to address the above false positives from user reports.
