ASUS Live Update downloading a virus?
I just noticed that, starting 10 hours ago, my Zephyrus G14 has repeatedly attempted to download a zip file that Windows Security detects as containing "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.b!ml" -- and it appears to have been downloaded by ASUS Live Update, given that it was saved to "C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\Update\Download\..." It has already tried to download the file at least 16 times.
Is it similar to this attack on ASUS Live Update from three years ago? What should I do at this point? Has anyone else been affected?
|EDIT| I forgot to upload a screenshot of my Windows Security protection history. All of the reports pertain to the same virus:

Getting similar notifications from Armoury Crate and its DenoiseAI app update. Different Trojan detected though.
