Below file might include a virus.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fHboIc33SWDfdHGMRSrl8Iw6daiUQ4WC?usp=sharing
Was downloading updates for "The Outer Worlds 2". In my haste I forgot the ritual of going to the download site 5 times to get the actual download link. I did not know the size of the update. Enough excuses.
Running the setup, it closes chrome and then errors out.
Linked above is said archive, undoubtedly password protected to save it from scans. Password is in the archive itself.
Now, I don't know if this was the file, using the same password might finally caught up with me. Fixing that right now. But I still kinda wanna know.
I don't have a sandbox setup right now, so I share here in hope that someone want to take a look.
Archive is wired in other ways, includes a clip from a music video, I think.
What happened?, well, they tried to login to Facebook, was directly stooped.
Today my google account, also stooped right away.
Discord, sent out a bunch of crypto offers.

Nothing.
Issue here is, as it's a setup file, it might be a small program that's acting, seemingly, legit, but with nefarius goals.
I literally used the exact same password on several sites though, might just be that.
Site did not find anything wrong with the setup.exe, but might be what it installs from all the other files.

Maybe not a virus, more like installing a program that steal your login tokens or.... Somthing.
