Antivirus Alert: Trojan Horse Detected and Deleted - What to do?
Recently, while visiting the website of a home renovation company, my antivirus alerted me with the following message: “Threat removed”. It detected a Trojan (JS/Agent.RCS) in a file (B123A19715D704B963F6836E8A1A4DB0ED1B265A-blob) on my computer, and then deleted it.
What should I do ? Should I be worried? Please help me.

Hi,
To add here, when Bitdefender finds an infection on your computer, it usually takes automatic action against it and gets rid of the malware without requiring any input on your side. On the other hand, if the notification states that the threat could not be deleted, it may be necessary to manually remove the infection. Since Bitdefender informed you that the file has been deleted, I don't think any further action is required from your side.
