I installed "TotalAV" on my pc on 10/10/2026. After installing, I noticed the following on my pc:
These were the folders "TotalAV" installed on my pc. When I tried to look at the 2nd one ("~l-"), TotalAV anticirus told me the "explorer.exe" was identified as a virus, and as a result, TotalAV disabled my entire system. When I rebooted and restarted, I was met with a blank screen.
BTW, these 2 folders were placed on every physical drive I had attached to my pc.
"l-"
"~l-"
In addition, I had 9 files added to my c" drive. They were labeled "SCPCT01" thru "SCPCT09". The file types included 'PDF', 'JPEG', 'XLSX', and 'DOC' among others. I managed to open the 'DOC' file. What is saw was the word 'SCAPEGOAT'.
I was able to restore my main pc and remove "TotalAV". Once I uninstalled "TotalAV", the folders and files were gone.
Has anyone else encountered anything like this?
