    So I accidentally got a browser hijacker and I downloaded SpyHunter 5 to fix it and it found this in the BeamMP launcher. Is this legit? Or am I like stupid or something... Edit: It found some more malware in another completely harmless file...

    Just delete all that crap from your computer and use windows defender, it's the best free anti-malware.

    Maybe not "best", but good enough for normal use, and unless you are frequently on websites like WOM or something you shouldn't need a better one

    spoiler: it is not, it's fine.
    if you want to crack it up a notch, run a malware byte scan every once in a while.
