Although this file seemed to be known as an antivirus software as a basic false-positive alert, there is ongoing evidence that suggests that this is quite a dangerous program similar to a Trojan which can trigger a device a lot of harm. A false-positive indicates that the file was not detected by any antivirus program, so it categorized this as a virus and although it just isn’t one. On the other side, a malicious program such as a Trojan is deliberately designed to hack your computer to kill or gain control over your machine. Any Trojans may also house spyware that is meant to steal or submit your sensitive information with hackers. Around 2016, Alexa viruses first emerged and are suspected to be linked to certain video games. In many other cases, though, this can be let loose on computers.
