Hi, the malware detected was identified as adware hijacker and stored in your user files. These types of threats generally aim to track your activity or display unwanted ads, which could potentially impact performance. While they don’t usually directly lower FPS, they might slow down your system or cause instability. Their origin is typically from malicious downloads or compromised websites. It’s a good idea to scan again and remove them if you notice any issues.

You're dealing with a virus—focus on keeping your gaming smooth. It shouldn't expose your data to advertisers or bombard your browser with ads. Remove it right away.

Malwarebytes rarely identifies harmless programs. Terms like "adware" and "highjacker" become more problematic when used together
