Hey everyone, I need some help! Yesterday while I was editing some photos, I noticed two weird files appear in my downloads folder that I definitely didn't download. At first, I thought I might have just forgotten about them, but after looking closer, I got really freaked out. One file is called "HE'S HERE!.png" and has this creepy distorted red text that keeps saying "He's Here" in a weird pattern. The other one is "save.txt", which also just repeats the phrase "HE'S HERE" but not as much.
I tried checking the metadata on the files, but that didn't help. I came across a post suggesting I use the command "more <filename:Zone.Identifier" to find out where these files came from, and it only said they were from the "internet" with no other details, which really scared me.
I wish this was just a prank or an ARG I made when I was younger. But I'm genuinely anxious since I use this computer for college and work stuff. I ran a full scan with my antivirus (free Bitdefender), and it came back clean, so no signs of any malware like encryption or anything.
If anyone has any ideas or advice, I'd really appreciate it! (P.S. I've linked screenshots of the files below.)

This is definitely strange! Have you checked where the files are actually located on your computer? Sometimes files can get downloaded from unexpected sources, especially if you've been browsing sketchy sites. Just be cautious!
I found something similar online; it might be from this site: https://aron-studios.itch.io/sprunkiland-v24-reuploaded/comments?before=19. Check it out and see if it rings a bell for you. Could be just a weird coincidence!
Whoa, this sounds intense! I'm not looking at those files either, but I feel you—getting chills just reading your post! Just in case, maybe check your cloud services if you use any, that might give you some clue about where these files came from. I really hope you can figure it out soon and that it turns out to be a silly mistake you'll laugh about later! Good luck!
Yeah, I hope it's nothing serious too. Stay safe!
HE'S HERE?! That's just plain creepy. I wouldn’t open those files if I were you! Maybe just delete them and keep an eye on your PC for any unusual activity.
Yeah, that could help. Gathering more info is key!
