It flooded my command prompt without me opening it. A crude drawing of a cat, but the longer you looked at it, the wronger it became. Its eyes weren't dots; they were zeros. Its tail wasn't a curve; it was an infinite loop symbol. Beneath the art, a timer appeared:
You know the feeling. You’re scrolling through an old backup drive, a forgotten Discord channel, or an abandoned mediafire link from 2012. You see it: . Fancy-Kitty.zip
It read: “Fancy kitty is a good kitty. Pet the kitty. 🐱” Should you download Fancy-Kitty.zip if you find it?

“Clean,” the report said. “No threats found.”
