I downloaded Adobe Creative Cloud from the official Adobe site yesterday, but when I opened it, I accidentally redownloaded the file. I ran it through VirusTotal, and it showed two Trojan warnings. I performed full scans using Malwarebytes and Windows Defender, but they didn't find anything. I'm still worried that I might have a Trojan. What steps should I take next? Here's the VirusTotal result: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/df6fcdf07d669703f2e43ea139c28133160c7853b306ffa39a99e7df03ee0cfa/detection

Honestly, if you haven't used your PC for anything sensitive like banking, I would just delete the flagged files and keep scanning regularly. Monitor your Task Manager for any suspicious processes running.
You might want to check discussions around the same file to see if others are noting false positives. Sometimes, security tools flag certain files mistakenly. Just make sure to remain vigilant while running those scans.
If you think there's a Trojan on your PC, the safest way to get rid of it is to wipe your drive and reinstall your operating system. It sounds drastic, but it ensures that any malware is completely removed.
