What Brave Security? Brave will help to give you warnings and all when you go to unsecure sites, but Brave isn’t an antivirus or anything like that.

Viruses and malware can enter your device from a variety of sources. Antivirus tend to find them where they “nest.” We have no clue what Windows Security found, whether it be malware, virus, or something else. It just found whatever it was within your cache.

Well, if you haven’t, I’d do a deep scan of your device to check for any other malware or virus you might have. Outside of that, seems like you have it under control. As to answer on what to worry about, I guess just be careful of the places you’ve been visiting and always remember to be wary of downloads, inclusing browser extensions.
