Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Check [this file / this link / my Windows PC] for malware and phishing. Use Microsoft Defender and VirusTotal, tell me what each one found in plain words, and suggest what to do next. Don't delete or quarantine anything without asking.
