While exploring my documents, I found a file with an .RDP extension. After researching, I learned it was related to Remote Desktop Protocol. I’m unsure how to generate an RDP file. A full scan with Malwarebytes didn’t reveal any threats. Should I be concerned about someone accessing my laptop remotely? If so, consider removing the file and checking for any unauthorized connections.

I accessed it. It requested an IP address for the computer I wanted to link. After that, I closed and removed the file.
