    Oh interesting! I also have Free download Manager, so I guess that's pretty definitive evidence for what caused it. Commented Jun 12, 2021 at 18:47

    Free download manager is the culprit for me too. For me I only had the /etc/cron.d/collect file to delete - the other files didn't exist. Commented Nov 14, 2021 at 2:28

    Seems like you downloaded free download manager from a suspicious source & had malware installed on your computer: securelist.com/backdoored-free-download-manager-linux-malware/… Commented Sep 12, 2023 at 22:06
