It was in my shared files and I removed it. It is gone for now, but it is definitely malware of some sort. It is gone now and hopefully it will not come back. Thank you for your assistance.

Hey Gateman84, let's jump right into this!
Guessing from the screenshot, it looks like you're using our website. Have you tried a different browser by any chance?
Just to see if you get the same behavior there.
Also, do you use the desktop app locally on the device? If so, are you able to locate and delete the file there?
