Hello,

I recently discovered a strange file called "sgml_input.html" in AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\test. It contains some suspicious links and redirections.

I'm not sure if I'm infected by some kind of malwares, Windows Defender and MalwareBytes do not find anything suspicious.

I also can see this file on the official repository of python (cpython/sgml_input.html at main · python/cpython). Can you too or am I dreaming?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Hello, Welcome to MalwareTips..! :)

Please follow the following instruction ..:

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. --> IMPORTANT

If your antivirus software detects the tool as malicious, it’s safe to allow FRST to run. It is a false-positive detection.
If English is not your primary language, right click on FRST.exe/FRST64.exe and rename to FRSTEnglish.exe/FRST64English.exe

Note:
You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Double-click the FRST icon to run the tool. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button and wait for a while.
  • The scanner will produced two logs on your Desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
  • Please attach the content of these two logs in your next reply.
---------------------------------------------------

In your next reply, please include:
  • FRST.txt
  • Addition.txt
