Today, the Windows Security Center of my computer repeatedly popped up a virus report:
Behavior:Win32/Hive.ZY (Level: Critical)
When I was worried, I checked and found that this problem has occurred in a large area of the world today.
DaveM121, an independent technical consultant in the Microsoft community, pointed out that this should be a false alarm, and the web browser based on the Chromium kernel and the APP developed based on the Electron kernel will all lead to this false alarm .
DaveM121 guesses that it is related to the KB2267602 (Version 1.373.1508.0) update of Windows Defender , which is consistent with the version of my PC (the system is Win10).
In addition, as early as 22 days ago, knapstack, who attended the Black Hat USA 2022 (BlackHat USA 2022), issued an article pointing out that there is a vulnerability in the APP developed based on the Electron kernel, which allows attackers to remotely execute malicious code through the APP. The r/antivirus community on the reddit forum believes that this may be related to this false virus report :

Therefore, friends, please don't worry, just ignore it for the time being and keep updating, waiting for the official reply and solution.
