Microsoft Defender ENHANCED PROTECTION MODE

"Microsoft Defender ENHANCED PROTECTION MODE" is a fake security alert and it has nothing to do with the legitimate Microsoft Windows Defender. It doesn't even have such protection mode, so this security alert is obviously fake and hides the presence of the malware in the system. If you've got this fake security alert then your computer is infected by a Trojan Horse.

Attention!
Microsoft Defender operates under enhanced
protection mode.
