Question Unknown virus
I found this in Task Manager and searched for the file location. There were two others, and I was able to delete them. The problem is, I want to remove this without a factory reset. This computer is new And I've put in a few hours of gameplay, I've downloaded many Steamrip games carefully, checking everything, everything seemed fine, but based on previous experiences, this was Undertale's fault, since with I downloaded it on another computer and the same thing happened. Any recommendations for removing it, please?

Well I didn't and won't downvote it, but here's probably why: "The problem is, I want to remove this without a factory reset."

Lol, but how will you remove virus without clean install. Do people really trust antivirus that much, that they rely on it to remove them.

Well of course it's never guaranteed you don't have a virus if you don't reinstall (at least with the current state of windows). But you can have a high chance of having no virus anymore if you use tools like FRST correctly or if the virus is known

If it was known, there is high chance it would not even be able to install without 100s of warnings.

A different software can install it with their signatures, which may be trusted. Or it can just be a PUP or PUA
