Any Code seems to be related to Visual Studio. Do you have Visual Studio installed, or has it been removed in the past?
RE: WTF IS ANY CODE ??? - Shnuff - 08-02-2023
yes, i have visual studio
but what comes if i click it? @ "AnyCode" ?
perhaps it is a scrypt virus, what i can open with visual studio as source code....
or perhaps as directly executable program as a scrypt virus....and i am infected !?
or is that always there normal in right click desktop mouse menu....
and that what i have say in 2 lines before is nonsense ?
or is that with the directly executable program , masked as "AnyCode" in the Right Click Mouse desktop menu
a real scenario ?
and how can i link a data as directly executable program masked as example name " blabla-ulala.exe " in this Menu ?
can anything help please ?

What you see (new menu item inside of system menu) is called Shell Extensions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/shell-exts
This is literally mods for Explorer. Like mods for games.
There are a lot of them and they represent perfect place to hide trojans. What the point: hacker developer create .dll, register it and then MS Explorer will call code from this .dll in various situations. As example when user hover cursor over file (extension can show some tip about file), or when user right click on .png file, or right click on Desktop... So, it means the code ALREADY executed. In case of virus you would not see any new menu item of course. Trojans just use shell extensions as replacement for autoexec.
