I have gone thru D:\qb64p3-v3-64bit-29Aug22\qb64pe and I can't find a file stP1kAlM. It may already have been removed by Defender or, as Spriggsy suggests its a Temp file and there are a number of them I haven't searched.
I don't think I do have a virus. I think it's new coding I have been working with yesterday and today. The routine is capturing the Date and Time of day. I'm going to see if my code is doing more than just trying to capture the info. I'm also trying to get more proficient in mouse control for selection from multiple menus. bplus gave me some sample code to give me a helping boost on the topic and his code carries _Limit control. I see I have none of that in any of my mouse coding so maybe I have just over taxed my CPU with an endless Do Loop some where.
In any event, don't think it's a virus.
Your screenshot tells you what happened to the file: Defender removed it. It's in quarantine (wherever Defender safely considers that to be), and you can only view or restore it via their software. If everything still works, I'd just consider the issue done. Defender didn't like something, you're not missing something, and you're both happy something is now gone. Win-win, time for dinner!
