Ermm, how do you expect us to test this…?? ???

go to sourceforge, github, gitlab and download newly updated random, less well-known programs (preferred .exe)

https://sourceforge.net/directory/os%3Awindows/?sort=update

download ~10-20 apps, then delete them, don’t execute

Sorry, I won’t hunt for such a detection. But feel free to test it yourself… :wink:
