I'm reading all new comments so don't hesitate to post a question about the file. If I don't have the answer perhaps another user can help you.
Last week I was going to download and play some "vintage" games. This was one of them.
However, I ended up on all kinds of scam sites when trying to download files. So I quit that idea. I did not think there was anything with Counterstrike installed, but guess there was.
I don't see any harm in deleting what looks like an exe installation file for that game.
P.S. I have been problem free on my computers for 20 years. Only when last week I decided to see about playing some old games online did I find trouble.
To hell with that shit.
