NickH 0 Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Hello almost a month ago my friend sent me a .net 8.0 C# Project (console application) and I helped him (I don't remember if i did ran it or not because if i remember right i didn't have .net 8.0 but maybe i downloaded it and ran it); Later I discovered that my firend if go to +18 sites (you understand what im talking about), and when I discovered that I was afraid that the project he sent me maybe was infected and got my pc infected (because maybe from the sites he goes to, the pc might be infected) so I uploaded all my progress game files to my Google drive and did a reset to my pc; The problem is that I played a game (One piece pirate warrior 4) after I helped him but before I discoved to which sites he goes, and after the reset I downloaded the game files and used them to play. Before the reset, ESET HOME Premium Security didn't find the project as malware or some malware on the pc, also after the reset and ESET (same edition) didn't find anything using of those game progress files. So I wanted to hear (just to feel safe) what do you think about my situation and if .dat and .sav can deliver or be a malware in situation like mine. Thank from advence for the time and the answers.

You're right, I forgot to write about this part, I scanned each file (seperatly) using virustotal (don't have the url but remember the details), some files were found only by maxsecure as trojan.malware.300983.susgen and somefiles were only found by bkavpro as w64.aidetectmalware. But antiviruses like ESET(which is what i have on my pc) bitdefender , norton and more reputable ones didn't find anything and the files that was found as malware was found only by one antivirus (maxsecure or bkav pro).

Administrators Marcos 5,450 Posted May 7 Administrators Posted May 7 Malware typically spreads in the form of executable files or scripts that are associated with a script interpreter. In order for malware to be present in binary data files, a vulnerability would need to exist in the application that opens the files, in this case the game that the files belong to which is highly unlikely.

I have the urls now, will it help you ? 1. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/80424bac86dd8a0246c2af2fddefea137f8ab8845ae832be1fdef73ef48ac53(I don’t think if finds it now but try) 2. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/53ec323a632a5280909faa86bb24fd543706fed60b96e73e3c830de127b913ff (same like the first) 3.https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0a5682c0b12af7a2f8318c571251a55f486f2bf62eb3fafe65d855a826236e3b 4. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ed79befa9d697ba631c65771ed1df7b936b5653b1322a76ffef8fab5837cdb7aI see that the first ones might not load to you I uploaded the files again (from the pc they were on, not the one who got reset) they set there for a while but the pc not were connected to electricity, so when got reuploaded and rescanned, some of them may say not a virus (now). Also can the reupload and rescanning mess up the result ?
