root 1 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Today it was not possible to update Win 11. I had to switch off the option "real time protection" (see attached screen) with force option-> update windows -> switch on again. If not, real time protection during the update recognised some Win files as "trojans" and deleted them.... Thus update was rolled back. I waste much time to perform it 4 times, before finally switched off this eset option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,748 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) The first thing to verify is if it was a legitimate Win Update. Something might have hijacked your network connection to serve up a malicious update. Example; Quote Big Head is a ransomware that disguises itself as a Windows update to infect devices and encrypt their files: How it works Big Head is spread through malvertising campaigns, which are online ads that trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected files. The fake update alert may appear as a pop-up window or notification. It mimics the appearance of a legitimate Windows Update dialog box, including Windows branding, logos, and progress bars. The alert may also use scare tactics to create a sense of urgency. What it does Once the user downloads and executes the ransomware, it encrypts their files, making them inaccessible until a ransom is paid. The ransomware can also steal sensitive information or facilitate further attacks. There haven't been similar recent forum postings to this effect.
