Fake Update?

I found the following on my computer:

Trojan:JS/FakeUpdate.HNAP!MTB

file: C:\Users\Lucas\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\Cache\Cache_Data\f_000306

file: C:\Users\Lucas\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies\F298826FC845D8FD\Cache\Cache_Data\f_0006e3

Apparently someone has installed a Trojan on my computer with an fake OBS update...
I have only downloaded and updated OBS via Steam.
