Pc got compromised need help

I received a ZIP file from a WhatsApp contact whose account appears to have been hacked. I extracted it and it contained 2 .bin files and 1 .exe file. The application closed immediately when I ran it.

Later I found that the folder couldn’t be deleted because a process called “Sandboxie COM Services (CryptSvc)” was using a file (SandboxieCrypto.exe). I ended the process in Task Manager and deleted the folder successfully.

I uploaded the file to VirusTotal and it shows 0/64 detections with a valid Sandboxie signature. My antivirus scan also found nothing.

Should I still be concerned that my PC was compromised, or does this look like a legitimate Sandboxie component? What additional checks would you recommend?
