What steps can reproduce the bug?

• Update from Codex when it is available.
• Within Project, kick off a new prompt sometimes involving /computer /browser.
• Compacting context window

What is the expected behavior?

No virus popups duh ! things run, but something extra sneaky is done at at the issuance of a prompt, compacting of a context, and for upgrades triggered from within Codex!

Additional information

I am seeing Electron app crashes additionally ,
