MD5 hash of the downloaded file is ironically paintbrush.exe - in it’s non-modified form.

close down all PaintBrush applications in Task Manager, then you can remove all the weird files current FiveM.exe creates. Id recommend waiting for a fix on this before you open FiveM again.

Fixed, I am loading into a server currently

looks like this is a very active problem looking at the time these messages were sent, probably best to just wait till they release an official fix
