Apparently someone has made some mal ware that may cause maya files to lock up, and it spreads to your prefs and installations, infecting other files.
To combat this, Autodesk has put out a security patch that you can get here:

From Autodesk's Security Advisory page:
A third-party malicious script was identified and a fix has been made available. The script can execute malicious code that can corrupt the Maya environment, cause data loss and instability, as well as spread to other systems.Once you've downloaded and installed, you'll want to load the two plug-ins , MayaScannerCB.py and MayaScanner.py, as they are not auto-loaded.
You can then run Scan File or Scan Current Scene from the file Menu.
Scan File , allows you to choose un-opened files to scan, while
Scan Current Scene, will scan your current opened scene file.
with MayaScannerCB loaded, files will automatically be scanned on open.
With either , once a scan is complete, it will either print in the script editor that all is well. or pop up a warning Message, and ask if you want to clean the file.
important: If an issue is detected, you must quit and restart Maya to prevent the further spread.
You can also run the scans interactively :
Windows:
maya -file "
Linux or macOS:
maya -file '
