Security problem with Microsoft Defender, Avast, McAfee, BlackBerry and Sophos

Criminals have currently circumvented the virus protection of Microsoft Defender, Avast, McAfee, BlackBerry and Sophos. They install a driver ‘ntfs.bin’ in the Windows user's default folder, which can lead to the installation of an encryption Trojan. The malware is not recognised by the aforementioned virus protection software.

The providers of the virus protection programmes are working intensively on a patch. Until the problem is solved, users of Microsoft Defender, Avast, McAfee, BlackBerry and Sophos should be particularly careful or switch to alternatives in the short term. ‘Techradar’ has published further information on this.
