I am a paranoid pc person. So I always upload files I download to virus total for a review. I also have my windows login set as a standard user and admin user as separate. So I downloaded yesterday morning a fivem graphics back zip file. I uploaded it to virus total and it got a 10/65 malware score. I then waited an hour for the virtual machine testing by virus total to conclude and the results speak for themselves. Thought it be a cool mention here. I also fully offline and online scanned my desktop with windows defender after. Nothing so far. I check for unusual stuff, and nothing so far, so I maybe in the clear.
Here’s the virustotal link: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/db8095407747ba4f46828e935387672ed65a0f29174234bfbdc03a9e28fec8c7/detection
I hope by uploading this to virus total it helps out security vendors and researchers strengthen anti malware detections. I also reported the associated domain to namecheap inc however I don’t think they’ll do anything.
