I recently received a high threat notification from Windows Defender regarding Win32/Lodi on my computer. I haven't downloaded anything from untrusted sources, so I'm puzzled about how it got there in the first place. Is it possible this could be a false positive? The affected file was listed as a cryptnet URL cache.

You should definitely look into whether this threat is actually affecting your system. Win32/Lodi has popped up in the past, but it can sometimes be attributed to software conflicts or updates. If you haven’t visited other sketchy sites, it might just be a glitch in the Defender's detection.
It's good to be cautious! Sometimes these alerts can be false positives, especially if you've mostly been on known sites like YouTube and Twitch. Have you checked if your system is fully updated? That can make a difference. Also, running a full scan with additional antivirus software could help clear things up.
