Could this potentially mean a RAT? - Wαlrυѕ - Jul 5, 2017
About a week ago, I got a random folder on my desktop with a name that looks like the image below. If the full name matters, let me know. I am not sure where it came from but it looks kinda sketchy. It has some files from another user on my PC. I just noticed it a few mins before posting this.
Does anyone know if this is a RAT (possibly used like this for file transfer) or a windows/program feature that anyone is aware of? I did run a fishy looking file the other day, but it only had 3-4 no-named AV's plus nothing in sandboxie when I initially ran it.

There is no way to know without logs, do this and I'll check your computer.
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
- Right click to run as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
- Press Scan button.
- It will produce logs called FRST.txt and Addition.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
- Please copy and paste the logs back here.

This possibility of Malware, some malware make copy and duplicate of files and folder. Mostly excel, rar and zip files infected.
