I haven't updated my Arch (Plasma) for some time.

When I updated it yesterday, suddenly all the exe icons started to show up ( I'm dualbooting with Win ), which is not the case before.

As far I looked up, I can't find anything on internet.

I don't know if it's whether WINE or Dolphin or some other package.

So, what's changed ?

Maybe the Windows partition is getting automounted. If so, there's nothing to fear. And if you installed Ventoy yourself, there's even less to fear.

However, if you suspect something untoward is going on, run a virus scan. Use Defender on Windows, and ClamAV on Linux.

ClamAV is unintuitive, so I wrote a helper script called Mussel. Read it, copy-paste it, put it in your PATH.

Mussel script

#!/bin/bash

getpath1() {
    echo $PATH'/*' | sed 's/:/\/\* /g'
    # print the path, with a /* on the end;
    # then substitute every : with a /*[space]
}

getpath2() {
    echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'
    # print the path only;
    # then substitute every : with a [space]
}

scanselect() {
	echo "How do you want to scan?
Select from 'path-scan', 'home-scan', 'full-scan', 'total-scan', or 'custom-scan'"
}

path-scan() {
	sudo clamscan --bell -r --move=/.quarantine `getpath2`
}

home-scan() {
	sudo clamscan --bell -r --move=/.quarantine /home/`whoami`
}

full-scan() {
	sudo clamscan --bell -r --move=/.quarantine --exclude-dir='/dev'  --exclude-dir='/sys'  --exclude-dir='/proc'  --exclude-dir='/.quarantine'  --exclude-dir='/.snapshots'  /
}

total-scan() {
	sudo clamscan --bell -r --move=/.quarantine /
}

custom-scan() {
	TARGET='unknown'
	printf "Select target files or directories to scan: "
	read TARGET
	if [ -d $TARGET ]; then
		sudo clamscan --bell -r --move=/.quarantine $TARGET
	else
		sudo clamscan --bell --move=/.quarantine $TARGET
	fi
}

qview() {
	echo 'These are the files in quarantine:'
	#sudo ls -hal /.quarantine
	#echo `sudo ls /.quarantine | wc -w`" entries in quarantine."
	sudo tree /.quarantine
}

qempty() {
	ANSWER='unknown'
	qview
	echo "Do you want to delete them all? (y/N)"
	read ANSWER
	if [ $ANSWER = 'y' ]; then
		sudo rm -rf /.quarantine
		echo 'All quarantine files deleted.
Returning to mussel interface.'
		sudo mkdir /.quarantine
	else
		echo "Returning to mussel interface."
	fi
}

show-help() {
	echo "List of commands:
	scan: Does not scan anything, just prints a list of commands for scanning.
	path-scan: Scans all files in the path. ($PATH)
	home-scan: Scans all files in your home directory. (/home/`whoami`)
	full-scan: Scans all files on the system (/), except for virtual filesystems and quarantine

	custom-scan: Scan a specific file or directory

	exit: Exit Mussel, return to the shell"
}

if ! [ -e /.quarantine ]; then
	sudo mkdir /.quarantine
	echo "Quarantine directory did not exist, just created it now"
fi

COMMAND="unknown"

echo "This is Mussel, an interactive command-line frontend to ClamAV.
Type 'help' or '?' for a list of commands."

while (true); do
	printf '] '
	read COMMAND

	if [ $COMMAND = 'scan' ] ; then
		scanselect
	elif [ $COMMAND = 'full-scan' ]; then
		full-scan
	elif [ $COMMAND = 'path-scan' ]; then
		path-scan
