You are in vain hoping for Windows Defender, or rather, you are in vain hoping for Windows. To keep Windows crystal clean, you need to disconnect it from the network. If you start wondering how many holes users regularly open due to using this system, you will be very disappointed. Start learning Linux systems, and divide your Internet surfing into entertainment, Photoshop hobbies, and finances.
As for the addresses to which they wanted to redirect you, I see a slightly different amount in this wallet. But yes, there are complaints that the clipper was redirected to this address.

My opinion about how you get this is I think you may have downloaded a software that isn't downloaded from the original website and may be infected with that malware.

That could be the answer since, I recently got this device. So a lot of software had to be reinstalled. But that's not what I'm worrying about. I worry about windows defender not detecting it. And it's not that I got infected and the very moment I noticed it. I think I was infected for more then 10 days. There was no way of knowing, until I tried to make a transaction and made this discovery. That's what I don't like about it. This sly virus, not showing up anywhere until someone tried something related to crypto.

The reinstallation of the OS is not enough, you need to total the format the entire hard drive this will delete everything and then you install a new OS this time around use Linux distro as it is better than the windows OS or antivirus on it.

Then the exiting wallet on that device should be assumed to been already compromised you will need to create a new wallet and send your coins to the new one.

As discussed before, it is always better to triple check when you are going to send any crypto if there's any changes to the address or not. If I say something then I would say that it is better to be safe than sorry. Well, it doesn't feel good when you lost something that you have work hard to get it or earn it and just vanish just like that. It's good that you share this to remind others who have already know this and to let others know about it that doesn't know about this yet. My opinion about how you get this is I think you may have downloaded a software that isn't downloaded from the original website and may be infected with that malware.

And this is the third time I have gotten infected with the clipboard virus. I don't know why I always end up with the particular virus. Though I don't know how to properly define this thing as a virus or malware. I don't use any third-party antivirus, but my Windows Defender is always on. So I have no idea how I got infected. Windows defender seems to not be working regarding this virus. I guess, other antivirus programs won't work either. There is no way to fix this. So unfortunately, I had to reinstall Windows twice the same day to fully get rid of this virus. Such a hassle. Lucky for me, I didn't send out any funds since I remembered my original address. The moment I saw a change of address, I knew something was wrong. Here is the phishing address. The total received amount is almost $28k I wonder how many innocent people fell a victim to it.
