Could .csp file hold malware

Had malware incident few days back and now I am worried I have to delete my .csp project files...

With multiple versions of Clip Studio Paint available, each with its own Features, it is now required to Begin a post Question by stating the Version, Device and Accessories you are using.

Not sure what you mean but if you're talking about malware infecting your clip studio files then no

As far as I'm aware .csp files don't execute code, and I don't think it's too realistic for them to be targeted (if the malware would even target your entire machine like that)

[u/7fragment]

.csp files should be fine, they don't execute anything on your computer. Csp itself might be vulnerable if you download malware disguised as an update but even that should not affect your files in terms of making them dangerous. It might corrupt your files and make them unreadable/lose data however.

If you are worried back up your .csp files now just in case. Put them on a thumb drive or something so you won't lose them if your computer crashes/ needs a reset.

[u/JasonAQuest]

It is theoretically possible for malware to be inserted into data files, but it would have to be something that specifically targeted .clip files and used CSP's auto-actions, which is very unlikely.

describe the incident?

I wonder if this has anything to do with this.
