Rust maleware
Malwarebytes detected 2 old files during a deep scan — could this affect my PC or Rust?
I was running my weekly Malwarebytes check when I noticed it detected 2 files during the Deep Scan. I ran both a Threat Scan and a Deep Scan, and the Deep Scan found 2 detected files that I immediately deleted.
I have no clue where the hell these files came from, but I noticed they were last modified in 2013–2014.
I've never cheated on Rust, and I haven't touched or opened these files at all. I only found out about them today when i ran a deep Scan
What worries me is the timeline. As you can see, I ran a Deep Scan on 05/08/2026 and it found nothing. Now, on 18/08/2026, it suddenly flagged these 2 files out of nowhere.
Also why would malewarebytes flag nothing during my deep scan on 05/08 but suddelny on 18/08 these 2 files appeared. is there any way they ran by themselves and got flagged and if they did Can i potentially be gamebanned for simply having them on my PC?
Could these files somehow affect my PC or Rust, even though I never used them and Malwarebytes just detected them? Is there anything else I should check to make sure my system is clean?
I have around 1k$ in my rust Inventory that im not sure if its safe for sure,
I ran another Deep Scan test and it found 0 Detections
I also ran Windows security Scan
