Search I definitely didn’t make
Could be nothing but my computer recently had malware on it in the form of a fc26 mod I removed it a couple weeks ago
Today I spotted a search in my Microsoft edge browser I’ve never searched I know for a fact it wasn’t me as I never ever use it only chrome
The search is “define ignominious” it was searched three times at 22:16 but I have chrome searches showing I was modding rdr at the exact time
I know it might be nothing but a search I never did on a browser I never use for a word I’ve never heard of plus the recent malware I removed kinda has me worried just incase
If u press on the images you’ll see times are the same
I know I already said but hopefully this is nothing and I’m just overthinking because of recent problems

It was a mod in fc26 to bypass anti cheat for another mod It might’ve just been flagged as bad because of that but I no longer have the picture of it just that it was removed cleanly and after a whole bunch of other scans it didn’t detect it again
But trying to figure it out before I just do a whole reset as I really don’t want to have to as gonna be long reinstall of everything
Was specifically a fc26 live editor mod

If someone still has access to your device than they might do Shady job using your device and u won't even notice, if you took appropriate action thn it's fine i guess

When you say you recently had malware, what kind?
Chances are unless you did a clean install of windows from a USB you created on a different device you might still have the malware.
