(Didn't know what part of the forum so sorry if "general" is wrong)

 

So just scanned my PC for malware with malwarebytes and it said i had a threat in a "geforce" something folder, so i removed it but is there anything i should worry about or am i just being paranoid? I'm kind a anti-virus noob

 

Thanks in advance
