so should i just disregard my files that are on my computer in case they are infected? or back them up?
it makes no sense to me either. i did not place these files on my computer that i am aware of and was just looking at my system and searching for a file when i discovered these files.

If he wants to be sure, then he should try to clean install, then maybe dig around for any files that shouldn't be there. It's the safest bet, because you're not messing with files and stuff that you might need, and you don't risk deleting or corrupting files your system uses for important programs. None of what OP told me makes sense, that's why I asked for clarification about the files using the Permissions tab, which would tell me maybe something. But I do hope they find out where the files came from, because I've never seen a random file appear in any of my mal labs like that. I simply don't know.(04-29-2022, 04:18 AM)vittring Wrote: I would do a clean install of your OS to be sure you're not infected. No virus known creates a file(s) that large.In that case, he's not Infected by those files, yes?
