There are some torrrents showing up with .lnkextension (ex: movie.mp3.lnk, tvshow.mkv.lnk...) and automated software (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, qBittorrent RSS Downloader) could pick those torrents (but not import).

These (fake) torrents include a .lnk file that executes a script on your Windows

HOW TO exclude from download on qBittorrent.

Go to Options -> Downloads
Enable "Exclude file names"
Add patterns:

(one by line)

*.mp4.lnk  
*.mp3.lnk  
*.mkv.lnk
*.torrent.lnk 
*.zipx
*.scr
*.arj
*.lzh

Or exclude all together: *.lnk

Microsoft: De nada, amigo! Oh... here's an ad, btw... and...did you enable Recall already?

[–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 12 points 5 months ago

or rather: oh silly you were so clumsy that you disabled recall by accident again. let us be so kind to re-enable it for you
