Additional context
Reddit comments tell me ".ml" means machine learning and is often a false positive. I've used past versions of scrawler without any problem. I trust scrawler. Malwarebytes did not detect scrawler as anything.

I believe unrelated, malwarebytes found some other junk in my chrome data folders, which I believe would be my fault from other sources.
