I use 3 AVs, MalwareBytes, HitmanPro and ESET Online Scanner, only HitManPro has detected this file as malware but how can I be sure this isn't a false positive?

This file was downloaded from where it should be downloaded, in this case, the Modrinth website, so it's a legitimate file.

I've been using Norton for so long, there HAS to be a better alternative to offer some decent features at a better price. Bloatware password manager essentially is all I'm paying for. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this is a thing, but a way to import login credentials from Norton to this new service would be HUGE lol but if it has to be done manually, it just has to be done.

Thanks guys!

Me and my family were using Trend micro antivirus but it expired already and I want to know if we should renew it or get a different one, or do we just stay with the Windows Defender. My family likes to have an extra protection just in case.

I scanned them yesterday on different platforms but I don't have the knowledge to understand if they are false positive or not.

Fl studio ( I scanned the extracted files separately cause of the size limit):

I woke up tired this morning and checked my outlook email on my iPhone right away. I received an email that looked like it was from my school, but related to nothing about any of my classes or anything. There wasn’t much text but there was a DOCX word file there. I tapped on the docx to open it, which was stupid, but when I tapped it, a grey screen immediately popped up and said something like it failed. I then quickly realized that it’s probably a scam and I shouldn’t have tapped it so I deleted the email. Should I be worried about malware on my phone?

Hi, so I've used Defender for a lot of years but last week I downloaded an untrusted app and the next day my Facebook and Discord accounts were hacked.

I formatted my PC protected all my accounts by closing current sessions, changed passwords, added 2SV. Also did a scan on the other drives/partitions to remove old malicious apps I had stored.

Since then I've been super cautious with my safety and did a browser extensions curation, installed Malwarebytes, and stopped using untrusted software.

Right now I'm considering switching from Defender to another Antivirus as Defender has improved over the years but it obviously didn't protect me enough.

Is BitDefender the best free Antivirus alternative to you?

I was on the Harvard International Review site (.edu) and received this message as soon as I opened the site. While I didn't follow the instructions, I did hit the initial captcha arrow, and I am worried that something might still be on my computer. I cleared the history and cache from my browser, and ran the windows malware scan. Is there anything else I should do to keep myself protected? Would it be possible that I got malware from merely clicking the "I'm not a robot" prompt without following the instructions?

I have gotten virus into my laptop, I was using a vpn which asked me to copy paste a url/key (idk what it is) on my laptop using control+r
I did that and the vpn worked, but I also downloaded a couple of files. I think you know what I was doing. So in the mean time a couple hours after all this, my social was hacked and a mrbeast story was uploaded. I scanned my laptop for viruses and I came across 3. Let’s just say I can delete those downloaded files, what do I do next? Help me idk what to do. I can’t really format my laptop cause I have some important audio files.

I was looking at some sonic.exe files, then I found this one where everyone kept saying is the "original sonic.exe (2011)" one? I'm curious and I don't want to download any malware, It looks familiar to one a YouTuber known for testing malware and viruses out (tranium) played, but I'm not certain if it's the exact same one. It's file name is "SRK0K1FC" *I haven't downloaded anything*
