Don't be foolish, if you ran the game then do a fresh install, delete everything. Because it is a RAT or a trojan certainly. Or something worse.

It's a RAT with password stealing capabilities and can also take pictures via webcam I'm told. You should completely reset your computer and change all your passwords. Ideally cancel all of your debit/credit cards and get new ones.

@Princec was the owner of the puppygames discord server. He got pwned and lost control of his Discord account, discord server and epic games store. The new pwner of the princec account then managed to get control of the Valheim server and start funnelling people to the also compromised puppygames server (now hastily renamed Valheim) to further attempt to distribute their malware (apparently a pretty nasty rootkit if you follow the puppygames twitter - https://twitter.com/puppygames/status/1751999253713498484 )
