Trojan virus threat 'removed or restored'

Question

I recently downloaded a file from a malicious website by mistake. It had a trojan virus with the name as following :- Trojan.win32.Zapchast My windows defender detected the threat and then quarantined it, I went to my threat protection history and then clicked on remove threat. Subsequently, when I open the threat protection history, the windows defender says that "the threat has been removed OR restored". I am unable to understand the meaning of the word restored. Has the Virus been removed or restored? I ran multiple scans from Windows defender and it does not defect any threats. I ran scans from Malware Fox, Malwarebytes and they haven't detected anything either. I am genuinely very scared. Can someone please tell me whether it would have been removed or is it still there? Should I call Dell Service provider?

Answer 1

It means that it was removed from the quarantine area. Nothing more and nothing less.

For whatever reason the database they use to keep track of things apparently only tracks whether it is in quarantine or not. If it in quarantine then it is happy, if it is not in quarantine then either you removed it, or you restored it assuming you knew it was a false positive or accepted the risk.

If you know you clicked "remove" then all is fine, it is simply gone.
