Hi, I noticed similar strange searches appearing in your app menu on Windows 11. It seems like random phrases like "You are an idiot" and "maelstrom" popped up unexpectedly. That feeling of something being off is real. Have you seen anyone else experience this?

It might be a trojan virus. I detected it during a search. Verify your system is safe. The well-known YouAreAnIdiot JS Trojan is available in the official HTML5 version. 🕵️‍♂️ Remember, stay cautious and good luck!

I recall that virus from years past. It was a benign virus that only disrupted people's systems until they restarted it. I ran a scan on my PC and found no detections. I recently reset my computer about a month ago and installed very little software, so I don't think it's a virus. I might just reset it again for extra safety. Thanks.

You just completed a scan and didn’t find any issues. I saw a discussion on Microsoft’s forums about something similar happening recently. It appears the problem has been reported within the past two weeks, though no new searches have appeared since. It’s definitely concerning. Thanks.
