Hey guys, I recently got a vst(a virtual instrument for music production) specifically called Hypersonic 2 from a friend. I am afraid i got malware or maybe a virus but perhaps im just being paranoid. I looked in the folder and everything seemed normal after installation except for a " rwdef.file " i googled it and a website popped up called malwr.com and has a explanation in technical terms what is it but i have no clue if it is malware or not, can someone check it out and explain it to me? the link is- https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjtvePK08vLAhXLNSYKHS13AFkQFggzMAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmalwr.com%2Fanalysis%2FMGQ1ODUzMTcxZTU4NDk5NTg4MTI0YmEwOWNmYzUzNjI%2F&usg=AFQjCNEEi-XOMp_vrORIKWafAVVOZa_tMg&sig2=Pl277u4nXlfbt6mp38QfVw&bvm=bv.117218890,d.eWE

 

 I deleted that weird file anyway and im about to delete the vst itself but i am hoping no malware was installed on my computer. What are some symptoms of malware? my pc seems fine so far( i am on windows 8 but bootcamp from my macbook). Do you know how to check if i did get malware? any free anti virus recommendations?
