Defender started to display a detected threat error today. A full scan did not detect anything. All of a sudden I got defender message saying that "hive.zy" was detected. Yet another full scan does not detect.

What should I do next?

I am getting this intermittently on one of my computers as well. I did some googling and it may be a false positive. Gonna wait it out and see what is reported.

Thank you. I also found information stating a possible false positive. Will also wait a few days.

For what it's worth, I booted into the Insider Program on my other drive and the problem is not there.
