Hey, I could use some help figuring out what happened on my PC.

I downloaded a cracked game called Gamble With Your Friends from online-f...me

I extracted the archive with WinRAR and ran the game. A few error popups showed up, then Windows Defender threw this alert:

Trojan:Win32/Kepavll!rfn — Severity: Severe — Status: Active.

About 5 seconds later, the alert just disappeared from the protection history on its own. I didn't have time to quarantine it or click anything, it was gone before I could react. When I click Run on the game again, nothing happens, no alert. But if I uninstall the game and reinstall it from the archive, then run it for the first time again, the same alert comes back, stays for 5 seconds, and disappears the same way.

That's the part that's bugging me, the alert vanishing on its own without me being able to do anything with it. Has anyone seen this behavior before with online-fix releases? Is this a known false positive I shouldn't worry about, or does it look like something I actually need to deal with?

I'm on Windows 11 fully up to date, with Windows Defender as my only AV.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I ran an executable from an archive I downloaded online and Windows Defender threw this alert: Trojan:Win32/Kepavll!rfn — Severity: Severe — Status: Active.

About 5 seconds later, the alert just disappeared from the protection history on its own. I didn't have time to quarantine it or click anything. When I click Run on the file again, nothing happens. But if I delete the file and re-extract it from the archive, then run it for the first time again, the same alert comes back, stays for 5 seconds, and disappears the same way.

That's the part that's bugging me, the alert vanishing on its own without me being able to do anything with it. Is that a normal thing or does it mean something specific?
