Yesterday I was getting messages that I think were from windows defender, that it had blocked a communication to a bad place. ( I forget the words it used, you know what I mean I guess?).
And it gave an IP address.
And it said 'outgoing'
Now that IP address was my own.
And 'outgoing' sounds to me like it was my machine trying to communicate.
I can see that perhaps some bad site has put a keylogger or something on my machine and wants reports from it and that's bad. So is that what was going on? And if so wouldn't it be common sense to tell me what the app was, the process or whatever so's I could deal with it?
Or defender deal with it itself?
Leaving me with only that info just leaves me wondering what the hell is going on.
I find in the Defender 'history' screen only one thing and it is dated six days ago, not yesterday. It was a thing called Rogue:JS/Techbrolo.A and it was quarantined. I just deleted it.
And just a while ago Malwarebytes was proudly claiming it had blocked something without telling me what it was or why.
How do we get to know what's going on?
