I am suspicious of this software because I am 80% sure it was not on my computer before. I have downloaded things that take you through Adfly (I skipped ad and it took me to google drive or mega link, I never downloaded from adfly). I looked this software up and some say that it’s useless outdated antivirus software and some say that it could be malware disguised as RAV Antivirus. If it is malware, how do I get it off my computer?
It might also be worth mentioning that there was a pop up from that software that showed files that contained viruses. The reason I’m suspicious is because it showed Minecraft files (which were from the Microsoft store) as possible threats to my PC. They were manifest.json files.
UPDATE: It just came with another program I installed. I scanned my PC for viruses and there weren’t any, so I wasted my time thinking there was a problem.

Do you by chance use the Cheat Engine software for Elden Ring? Many people are realizing that it was bundled with the install.
You can check in a way to see if a program you installed also installed the RAV antivirus.
Go to start/settings/apps and then sort them all by date. Find RAV on the list and see when it was installed and also check to see what other program was installed around that same time.
Usually this can pinpoint the culprit.
Once you realize it was adware from another program install and you trust that program you installed, just simply uninstall RAV from the Apps page you are on.
You should never download anything through adfly, I suspect it could have been back doored onto your system, do a scan with malware bytes and remove software that you installed through adfly.
Sorry I worded it wrong. Never downloaded from adfly. Hypothetical example: I clicked on a link that took me to adfly, I waited and skipped ad, then it took me to a google drive link that I downloaded from. That’s what I did.
