Windows found chatgpt trojan?
But, long story short I did a quick scan and found it under
in my c drive under google chrome extensions
Then I found it again under
I also found it under \extensions_crx_cache\
then i found it again under google chrome extensions under \blueBackground.js
Then today I did the same exact thing, a quick scan. It didn't find anything but I did a full scan and it still seemed to be on the PC.
i found it under the same crx cahe and under another software I downloaded
aitopia/src/html/setup.html
->blueBackground.js
->utils/chatResponse.js
This damn thing still seems to be on my PC. I did an offline scan and everything. It still seems to be on there just looking at the files and going to it through file explorer. Before looking at the files I had quarantined the files and deleted them.
I haven't had any suspicious activity on my pc besides this popup. No, random cmd prompts, no high internet usage, nothing in task manager.
I was hoping this was just simply a false positive since I don't really download anything from random websites. I'm just more of so worried because I told my PC to delete these files and they never ended up deleting them. From looking at it though it just simply seems like these were google extensions that lingered on my pc. Nothing really seemed suspicious in itself. What also worried me is that windows defenders claimed it was a quote trojan called CHATGPT stealer. The exact thing being called "Trojan:JS/ChatGPTStealer.GVA!MTB".
I opened the file and it just seemed to be random lines of text. I'm guessing this is related to a plugin related to chatgpt that I installed not too long ago. I manually deleted the files through just finding them and going through the bin. Am I still safe? Was this a virus to begin with? I did a quick scan, full scan, and a scan with malbytes Thanks if anyone gets to this.
