So I normally clear up storage every once in a while, let's say about every four months. I noticed this a while ago, and didn't think much of it. But I was wondering if anyone knew of what this meant, or if this is actually "Malware".
I know whenever I delete a program, using dnf remove program-name, and remove the following folder in local/apps or.config, and this will delete it to save some space. As I'm not using said program for now.
I have never seen this before, and was wondering if anyone would care to help me describe this for me.
My best guess is part of Wireshark, as I remember installing it once, but who knows, maybe It's something I shouldn't have. I know what I'm sort of doing on Linux, and if this is network related, I probably don't care.
.db is usually short for "database". I'd suspect this file is part of an anti-virus tool or similar. ~~Where did you find the file?~~ Edit:
phishingurlindicates that it's part of some URL checking functionality of a browser. Not sure which browser puts that straight into.local/sharethough. Might be a KDE thing.Edit 2: Qkall's answer says it's KMail.
Funny name for a spamfilter db?
they should call it Definitely_notMalware.db for safety
Nah clickhereforfreededitatedwham.db
I guess it's an appropriate name if the file collects the URLs of sites that trick you into installing malware.
