I'm not so worried about the FF7 executables, because they're widely used by the modding community and known to create false positives since by nature they're modifying program files. But the 00000 one in the Chrome folder worries me since it's marked GoSave. That's the malware I believe I was originally was infected with, and I tried my best to clean the infection on my own before I came to this forum.
Also, there are files in my NBA2k15 Steam folder identified as GoSave under the File Type heading. Maybe these files were corrupted by the original infection? I'm not sure, and not knowledgeable enough about GoSave to understand if the files are dangerous, or if it's a legit file type.
