[SECURITY ISSUE] Unexpected system directory creation C:\Users\Jawad and suspicious file paths #150

Description

@pip-install-skills

Description:
Hi, I recently downloaded and installed RustPlusDesk from this repository. After installation, I discovered an unexpected user folder created in my C:\Users directory named "Jawad".

This seems highly irregular, as "Jawad" is not my username, and this directory contains a structure that does not appear related to the standard application function: C:\Users\Jawad\.gemini\antigravity-ide\brain\...

I also found a recycler-log.txt within that directory. Below is the log output:

Could you please clarify:

  1. Is the application intentionally designed to create directories in C:\Users\ other than the current user profile?
  2. Is the .gemini\antigravity-ide path a standard component of this project, or could this version be compromised?

Any information regarding why this folder appeared on my system would be greatly appreciated.

this is the only file it has, I saw rustplusdesk in the content of the txt file, so thought maybe something related to you
