if you have a win machine goto https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/index.html and try to download some of the tools. anywhere there is a password-zipped file with all tools. download them or, if you find the password zipped file and enter the password your virus checker will have the job of its life! pling, pling, pling, pling!
But they all do what you can read about them when there is no virus checker!

That "9/69" means that it tested with 69 security vendors, and 9 had
some kind of flag.
If you look at what is specifically being flagged in this report, one
is "Win32:Malware-gen" which a person from Avast describes this way:
"Generic threats are files that appear suspicious to AVG but do not
match any known threat"[1]. In other words, it's a generic ("gen")
detection on something the AV software *thinks* might be suspicious.
Another is "Generic.ml" which is the same issue: a generic detection
on something that's not known to be a problem, but the software thinks
might be.
Another is "Malware.Heuristic.1004" which is not actually a virus.
Instead, a "heuristic" is when the AV software has to make a guess
based on other behaviors it has seen. But it's just a guess.
Note that plain DOS programs often get misidentified as Windows
malware because the programs are accessing the low level features of
the CPU or DOS. That's something very common in DOS, but not allowed
in Windows.
