That got me doing a deep scan and Defender found the following which was quarantined and then removed. Its within an Oracle file. Please see the screenshot and take appropriate action

Hi Jimmy. I dont have more info, only that its from here. Either a direct single indicator download or part of a template. Defender has deleted it so probably wont be able to trace it backwards.
Regards and thanks for you guys do.
