Anyone have Windows defender find a worm today?

[jwt873]

I just got a message on my Windows 10 computer stating that Defender found the worm Win32/Bluber.A and isolated it.

I looked around on the net and see that on Reddit, a dozen or so people reported seeing the same thing today. There was some thought that it might be a false positive.

I'm thinking this is because I don't read mail on my Windows machine and web browse very little with it. My main computer runs Linux.

Has anyone else on RadioReference had the Win32/Bluber.A worm detected today... Or am I the only one?

I have Defender but nothing showing anything about Win32/Bluber.A. M$ states that it is a "SEVERE" problem.
Hope it is a false positive and not the real thing...
But false positives can be a hassle all by their self.

Read some more at the M$ site and they suggest how to deal with that worm:

They also suggest disabling Windows Autorun function.

At this point and time, I would treat it as NOT a false positive untill more info comes out.
Never know, it could be somebody's silly sense of an April Fools prank...
