Malicious Programs
Subject: Are these Malicious Programs posing as yours?
Hello Daniel,
I’m a typical consumer that tends to look into things that I shouldn’t but I
did. Long story short, my PC has been acting funny. So I investigate. I
discovered these files within the file that holds your program, “f” and
“r”. Each file contains what appears to be your program, although when
checking the details gave me reason to believe otherwise. Could you confirm
whether or not they are connected to the functioning of your program?
C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_curl_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.22621.1555_none_5e4b2bfa98c5c82b
That is the location of your program. See attached photos for further info.
I recently discovered also that there is a new malware/virus vulnerability to
which the attacking program is named the same as legitimate windows
programs. But in order for it to remain completely undetected by malware and
virus scanners they must put the program in the same location as the one it is
impersonating. Here is the information on that I read on that.

I have a feeling this may have imposed a multitude of programs on my PC and
imagine others are unaware of its existence.
Thank you,
