I accidentally clicked on a file named cpah-1.1.4.exe-955-1-1-4-1621649428.exe while looking through some old pictures. After asking about it, I found out it's associated with an Among Us cheat engine, but I've never played that game. I discovered this file on 22/8/2024, and I haven't opened it until now. I just want some advice on whether this is malware or not.

Just to clarify, that filename comes up as the CPAH - Breach Protocol Autohacker, which is a mod for Cyberpunk 2077. But if VirusTotal flagged something as unsafe, it's definitely worth investigating further. You might want to run a thorough scan just to be sure.
A filename alone can’t tell you if a file is malicious. Running it through VirusTotal is a smart move. If it’s flagged, you could be dealing with malware. Just to be safe, upload it there and see what the results say.
ChatGPT isn't a virus scanner, so it's best not to rely on it for these kinds of things. I recommend uploading the file to VirusTotal for a deeper analysis. Better to be cautious!
It's a good idea to run a full scan with your antivirus, just to be safe. If it picks up anything suspicious, make sure to delete it right away. Also, check the Task Manager for any weird processes. If nothing shows up there, you're likely in the clear.
