Does anyone know if these two files are considered malware? I see a lot of things in the behavior tab that seem suspicious (but then again, I have no idea, and am relatively new/dumb).

Here are the images of the virustotal results I am referring to:

Also, I did see there was an noticeable slowness to my pc after I extracted the rar files (I was in a VM).

Thank you.

There are some suspicious things going on like the qcloud and counter-strike domains, as well as the 7zip extract being run.

I would probably get rid of it.

I installed 7zip if that made it appear (not sure if it is the case though) Yeah I may have to just pay for subscriptions with money I can't afford :S

I suppose you can probably do most things without the plugins too, just more time intensive
