[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 974103, member: 78686"] As you have tested already, it's not an issue when Edge is used. But when I had this incident a couple of times before, once or twice, it was probably when I extracted a malicious file from a zip using 7zip. I don't remember TBH, so I could be wrong. Since we are talking about the MS Defender's removal, sometimes Defender is able to detect and remove password protected malicious zip file. Only happened with Edge probably. For example, files from anyrun. It doesn't happen most of the time but has happened for me a few times. Any idea why this happens? How it's able to detected password-protected zip files? [/QUOTE]
