Infected File Detected

Started getting Bitdefender Total Security Warnings : Infected File Detected

Says: Gen:Variant.Lazy.492798 (can't find any information on this)

It then quarantined the file, I use interface to delete it on the 5th. It re-appeared but slightly different version and it quarantined and I deleted it again.

On May 5:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_19.2504.30081.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WebViewHost.exe

On May 6:
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_19.2505.34221.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WebViewHost.exe

WebViewHost.exe is under the WindowsApps folder which is owned by TrustedInstaller.

Will it keep downloading it? Will Bitdefender keep flagging WebViewHost.exe?

Not sure what to do or how to prevent this loop. Please add any help.

    @RTabbyH Hello,
    The detection was a false positive and we fixed it via the latest signature updates.
    Everything should be ok now, but please let us know if you're still experiencing any issues.

    Take care!
