Windows Security Remediation Incomplete (lemmy.world)

Hey all, not sure if this is the right place but I figure someone here will be able to help.

Windows Defender found something called "Trojan:Win32/Ashify.J!frn" and failed to quarantine it apparently. This was earlier today that it was detected and it affected a strange file under AppData/Roaming/T2GP Launcher/Steam/Cache/Prod/GpuCache to a text file called "index" with some weird changelogs for a gameboy advance emulator.

No google results pointed to anything meaningful. Only a few posts suggesting the games launcher may have prompted a false positive, an old post about password protected files from 2022, and a malwarebytes warning from 2kgames spreading Red Line malware from 2022 as well.

Just checking to see if anyone knows anything or has experienced something similar before!

I'd be happy to check its contents on MacOS or Linux. But I also agree with the virustotal recommendation.
