False positive or malware?

False positive or malware?

Hi. As you can see in the picture I got a Trojan and it was removed. I did multiple offline windows scans and found nothing and I downloaded malwarebytes and did several deep and custom scans and found nothing related to a Trojan.

I’m thinking it’s a false positive because I have not noticed any suspicious activity since then but I’m unsure and would like some opinions on whether im safe or not.

A guy made me screenshare and guided me to this download which he meant I needed to play faceit tournaments. I got to the download from the faceit client tho which make me think im safe but I don’t remember if I left the client.

What im looking for is basically peace on mid, that this was a false positive and I can calm down.

Sorry for bad English and grammar.

Hi. I was gonna download a faceit updater and got a Trojan. Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml. I removed it 3 day ago but I just did a scan and it came back and I removed it again. I did a little research and apparently ml stands for machine learning so it may be a false positive or something, I’m not tec savy at all so idk. Faceit updater was supposed to be an upgraded anti cheat and I have heard that windows security sometimes block those, like vanguard for riot. I have not noticed anything unusual on my accounts or any thing which make me think it’s a false positive. But idk as I said im not tec savy and know nothing about malware. Please help.

English is my second language so sorry for grammar.
