    Based on your guide, i downloaded, installed and ran this tool. During execution, it started to download files from my personal folder. Why does it do that, and where are the files going? It seems rather dubious to me

    FRST does not do that. It may create a randomly named temporary file that should be automatically deleted once the program has completed running.

    Can you describe what you see? It is possible that activity is related to something other than FRST.
