I recently bought an MSI Raider GE431. I ran a full anti-virus scan using Windows Defender. It found the following:



Trojan:Win32/Generic!rfn

Affected items:

containerfile: C:\Recovery\Customizations\USMT.ppkg

file: C:\Recovery\Customizations\USMT.ppkg->\ICB\0\MachineSpecific\File\C$\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{C65B26BC-5A6F-4135-9678-55A877655471}\setup.exe00



More info is found on Microsoft's site. I've tried to quarantine the file, but Windows Defender is unable to do so. This is a brand new laptop so I tend to think it's a false positive.



I've done a search and found a handful of related articles, but nothing definitive. Does anyone have any additional information or suggestions about how to proceed?



Thanks!
