High-severity alert: A potentially malicious URL click was detected

Question

High-severity alert: A potentially malicious URL click was detected

Anonymous

[email protected] is giving false alerts stating "High-severity alert: A potentially malicious URL click was detected." But when verified URL's are clean and only pattern observed is they are redirect links that pass through Google's URL structure (e.g., google.com/search or google.com/url).

Dear naveen.mel.cs_8466

Thanks for raising your concerns in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you received an alert about [Potentially malicious URL click detected].

What we need to confirm with you is whether this is a message prompted by Microsoft Defender?

Is your computer in an enterprise environment?

This prompt is a detection of the environment by Microsoft Defender, which will generate a detection report.

The community forum mainly provides basic technical support for families and individuals in terms of systems or software. If you are indeed in an enterprise environment, we recommend that you post a question in a dedicated community section for consultation. It is more suitable to be posted on Microsoft Learn (English only). You can click "Ask a question" to ask specific questions and share your ideas to help solve the problem.
