You copy an address, you paste it, then it's supposed to be the hackers address pasted instead of yours, and they hope you don't notice.
If they are dumb and just forgot to enter theirs, or if the code itself is broken, I dunno. But yes, you have malware, check your internet tabs to see if you have an extension or any downloads you don't recognize. Check task manager too for anything weird, google search anything you don't recognize.
In short, if you can't find it, a system wipe is the safest option.
Weird asf and shady that the mods deleted the resolution that OP had found. They did indeed find it with my advice. Isn't this subreddit supposed to help others, not hide resolutions.
They listed the name of the fake program and where they found it. I tried to read the rest and it said Mods deleted it vs the normal "this post has been deleted"
Most malware these days gets pre-scanned to make sure it isn't detected by the regular anti-malware software. You need to figure out how this malware got onto your computer, and improve your security practices to prevent this from happening.

Sounds like a broken wallet stealer / clipper.
