      i did a scan with 360 total security anti-virus, and it flagged some some of the files as malware and trojan. I'll upload some 2 files that were flagged and also on Talos Intelligence.

      Hi oabdelh1

      I suggest going https://virustotal.com/   and submit the flagged file for scanning.
      This scans the file with many AV engines and should provide a level of confidence that your AV is a false positive.

      thanks
      Randy
