| Action | Recommendation |
|--------|----------------|
| Keep the file? | No – delete it immediately unless you can 100% verify its origin and signature. |
| Need Foxit Reader? | Download the latest version from https://www.foxit.com/downloads/ |
| Need exactly version 9.0.1 ENU? | Contact Foxit support or use a cached official copy with verified hash. |

Important: Many antivirus engines, including Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, and Norton, will flag PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) on this file. That does not mean it is a virus—it means the software behaves in a way that may install unintended programs if the user is not careful.
