$ File.

[hiimFred]

Don't really know if this is the right section.

Anyway, I was browsing the web when my browser downloaded a file named "$" without even asking me. I immediately deleted the file but this was rather weird and suspicious.

It was a very small file named " $ " and the file type was "file".

Anyone have any idea wtf was that?

 

I was in the Gamepedia site if this matters, but I have no clue that the site has anything to do with the file.

Any thing with the extension .file means it has no file type, its a good joke between me and my mates XD. I have seen it before but can't remember where, but its defiantly suspicious, probably from a pop up

There was no PopUp whatsoever. Hope the windows 10 defender won't find anything.

Thats surprising. If you are concerned get a trial copy of malwhere bytes and run a full scan, I would do that anyway every 2 mounts. I doubt it did anything any way as its not a registry file or an exactable.
