Strange Detection from Google search

ts150

Hello, I just had a strange threat detection after running a simple Google search. The detection was for GT:JS.RogerDldr.1.EB4FB741 and it was located in the Firefox profile's cache2\entries folder. It looks like the detection happens immediately after doing a simple Google search for "ak69" (Japanese hip hop group) so not sure if there is a compromised image on google that could be causing the detection. It just happens directly on the search results page. I did not click any link or anything like that. There is no detection occurring when searching any other terms on Google.

Is this likely a false positive or something else that would require further investigation. It looks like Bitdefender immediately quarantined the threat each time.

It's basically a cache file in Firefox that's triggering the detection. Kindly follow the steps below:

1) Delete Firefox cache: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache

2) Open the Run command (press the 'Windows + R' key on your keyboard) and execute the following commands one by one:

temp - delete all the files in the folder

%temp% - delete all the files in the folder

prefetch - delete all the files in the folder

3) Run Disk Cleanup using this guide: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/disk-cleanup-in-windows-8a96ff42-5751-39ad-23d6-434b4d5b9a68

This should resolve your issue. Let us know if it works!
