MS updated Windows Defender to remove the infection:

It does not cleanup Firefox or Chrome.

One caveat: Windows Defender doesn't monitor Mozilla Firefox, which maintains its own certificate store. After successfully running the cleanup, I checked the certificate store in Firefox and discovered that the potentially dangerous root certificate was still installed in that browser and would require manual removal. My test system didn't have Google Chrome installed, but I presume it might also require manual removal of the certificate.
