[QUOTE="Reldel1, post: 768259, member: 63192"] Yes, my morning has been spent trying to counter this problem on two machines, two others I haven't even opened yet. When I opened the first Windows 10 with 1809 installed I got the warning from Defender. From that point on Edge would open but not connect to the internet. Not having read this link I wasn't sure at first what was causing the issue. I restored Windows back to Oct.1 with Macrium Reflect. Upon first opening the restored version all was fine but if I tried to open Hard-Configurator GUI Defender reacted immediately and reported finding three trojans one of which was the above Vigorf.A plus two other versions of Vigorf. Thereafter Edge would again not connect to the internet. After figuring the problem was with Microsoft and H_C I did serval more restores trying to troubleshoot to no avail. Now as long as I don't open H_C GUI all is working properly on one machine, but the issue is not resolved, I can't uninstall H_C without opening the GUI and then boom back into the loop of having to restore again. After figuring out what the problem was, I was able to quickly turn of Defender, uninstall H_C before Edge was corrupted on the other machine. I have now restored SRP on that machine with gedit.msc. and left H_C uninstalled. Andy, before I open he other two machines any guidance that could save me some time? [/QUOTE]
