Strange Brave (the browser) shortcut appeared on desktop

[Ginta]

Hey I ran the script. Here is the Fixlog.txt. I am going to do Step 2 and 3 now.

Here are all 3 files. There were 3 detections in the Malwarebytes scan. The first one is a downgrader for GTA IV, the person that made the downgrader is well known and trusted and also has other mods for GTA IV, second is a mod menu that I downloaded from a forum that has been around for a long time and is trusted don’t know if I’m allowed to say which forum + the guy that made the menu is also very trusted and every file is checked by mods before being released, the third is just the shortcut for the menu.

Hello.

The fixlist ran successfully, and as you can see:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.

As to the items detected by Malwarebytes, you can read here about this kind of detections:

You can also use the VirusTotal engine, to check them.

Your computer, so your decision to keep or remove them.

If you have no other question…

The following tool will remove the tools we used as well as reset system restore points:

Download [COLOR=rgb(84, 172, 210)]KpRm[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(84, 172, 210)] by kernel-panik and save it to your desktop.
