Windows 10: Is this a virus?

I just got a fresh install of Windows 10 and PING.EXE has been detected as Fortnite in SysWOW64 and I don't even have Fortnite or have ever played it lol

What is this? Should I be worried?

EDIT: I scanned it with malwarebytes and didn't detect it as a threat or anything, should I still be worried?

Clean the Virus

Hi,

Virus infection usually happens on a computer when it is exposed to an infected website or removable devices. For us to help you clean the malware on your device, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build and version of Windows are you using?
• Did you encounter any error messages related to having a virus infection on your device?
• What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest running any available antivirus software on your PC. It would be very helpful to us if you could also provide the result of the antivirus scan process.

Looking forward to your response.
