1.2.A4 File Downloads

The file downloads repeat every 7.5 minutes. Song/album titles are linked to the Wikipedia page for real songs or the clue page for LoreFi songs.

There are four .exe files (highlighted) that could be the virus:

  • GeekyGroove_New_Game_Plus (Full... from @EasyStreamer
  • YellowDayXAllAlubms.exe from @STranGER69
  • Antivirus Modular One.exe from @VanguardCiph
  • PP-IC from @CYBORGIRL

Considering that every entry except YellowDayXAllAlubms and PP-IC (highlighted) are real songs (either LoreFi or 90s/00s hits), it is likely that YellowDayXAllAlubms is the virus. This lines up with suspicious things happening when it is downloaded.

There are two entries that could be xX_WingoOfDisharmony_Xx: @xX_WingoOfD and @xX_WingOfD.
