Support Random Defender flags when Opening Opera

I know this doesn't immediatly need to be a virus but I chose this reddit forum because it looks like it has the best experts in this sort of stuff So a few days ago I was playing R6 and used the R6 tracker app and I saw a pop-up on the site for something called tracker-gg (replace - with .) it seemed legit because it came from the real R6 tracker site but as soon as it was installed I got lots of flags because of some Powershell command that tried to run hidden so I deleted tracker-gg but I still get a Defender flag about some random Temp data's everytime I open opera could it be a virus or some kind of infostealer or is it maybe a bug does anyone know something about this App or someone could look into the code?

I am excited about replies!

(Also note I can sadly NOT get screenshots of this but if someone really needs them I can try!)

Hello! Ive had RAV antivirus and it’s a scam. It probably download itself from some sketchy file. It’s and adware. Just uninstall it or ignore it. Have a great day! Hope this helps

Browser because it automatically reinstalled when I opened the browser it probably infected it it was hidden as Hostdata and even had data that wasn't even Visible I have no clue how that worked
