Windows 10: "MyLove_files" Folder On Desktop...is it related to a virus?

Hello MS Community,This morning, I randomly discovered a file on my desktop called "MyLove_files". When I looked inside, I saw about a dozen or so images, but dozens and dozens of Java script files. I'm looking to identify this folder and determine whether it's related to a virus. File properties indictated it was created Friday, 12/15/23 at 8:45PM Pacific. My machine is running Win10.My knee jerk response was to immediately recycle and delete it rather than try to quarnatine it and I didn't capture a screen grab of the file contents list sorry.Has anyone else seen this?

:)

 

"MyLove_files" Folder On Desktop...is it related to a virus?

Hello MS Community,

This morning, I randomly discovered a file on my desktop called "MyLove_files". When I looked inside, I saw about a dozen or so images, but dozens and dozens of Java script files. I'm looking to identify this folder and determine whether it's related to a virus. File properties indictated it was created Friday, 12/15/23 at 8:45PM (Pacific). My machine is running Win10.

My knee jerk response was to immediately recycle and delete it (rather than try to quarnatine it) and I didn't capture a screen grab of the file contents list (sorry).

Has anyone else seen this?

HI, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

It sounds like some web page that was downloaded to your Desktop and that folder contains the files for the downloaded HTML file, a virus would not put a folder on your Desktop, because a virus tries to stay hidden

Open the folder, then set view to List

Please provide a screenshot of the contents of that folder.

That is no problem, from your description they are just support files for a website that was saved to the Desktop, they are not system files and you have nothing to worry about.
