    Found a file with a fake name, is it a virus?


    I randomly noticed this file on my C drive today. The file type is something I have never heard of and can't find online. It's quite large at 18GB. I scanned with malwarebytes and it found nothing, and Windows Security scanner found nothing. I never clicked on the file to try to open it and have no idea where it came from. Does anyone know what this is and if I should be worried? Thanks. I am on Windows 11.https://imgur.com/a/virus-v56RfbUFull file name: tmprfcrm34my1Yn4m7mMBdSKtBQ1YwQI3Hp0Qvm81Oamx7Ktlboz8NU.m-RAa.PRLI147CP1SPBeiwuTQr-aKvgw43452UePreET9rmM5KTAPIFJMiAUGreW1ze3p7zPcxGfwFAFWTowC
