The first one appeared recently and I deleted it, then it came back and
now the second one has appeared.

At the same time client connect LTD infected the laptop I uninstalled it

It is some form of malware according to this:

Good luck.

Why not use PrintScreen, paste and save it as PNG in Paint or Irfanview
and then upload it. Quality will be much better and you'll be able to
show more programs in Programs and Features.

BTW do you really need both Java versions?

The picture shows the very next entry is "Intel Collaborative
Processor Performance Control" that is using the same icon.

That's the first clue IMO. It has to do with your Intel performance
control software/utility.

That's not a clue. It's the default icon Windows uses when the program
hasn't an icon itself.

Probably not an accurate assessment. The same icon is not relevant, it
only indicates that those items don't have a icon assigned thus Windows
chooses its own default value.

How is it probably not an accurate assessment? Even if it is the

In the meantime while fixing fst* issues, it might be a good idea to
update both 32 and 64 bit Java...the current installed versions (55 and
40 respectively shown in your pic) are vulnerable. In fact, if using
Windows 7 or 8 it would be prudent to ditch version 7 in its entirety
and upgrade to version 8.

Latest JRE versions
Java 7 = Java SE 7u60
Java 8 = Java SE 8u5

Mainly because they know more than you do.

When a program has no icon of its own, Windows provides a default icon
(do you know the meaning of "default" in this context?), from its (i.e.
Windows's) own supply, which has *no* (i.e., not any) relationship to
the file.

I suspect a virus or other malware. I see a few references to this file
on the Internet, but nothing definitive. The behavior of the file
reappearing after you kill its process is one that is typical of many
viruses.

I would start off with some research...

- find the exact path location of the file, not just the name. It it's
installed in \Program Files, it might be easier to glean what it is or
where it comes from. When you right-click on the file, check out its
properties - that might give you additional clues.

If the file resides in %TEMP% or somewhere in %USERPROFILE% it's more
likely to be something suspicious. Executable programs are not normally
installed there, as that bypasses many of Windows' security features.

- use Sysinternals Autoruns to examine what programs automatically
start with the computer. You can disable them from there, but be
careful because you can disable critical system processes if you don't
know what you're doing.

- start the computer up in Safe Mode and run thorough virus and malware
scans.

Duh! Look closely g

They're grouped together in that pic because that column is sorted
alphabetically by name(i.e. I comes after F in the alphabet).

My guess is, you'll find this key present in the Registry (look using "regedit")

HKLM\Software\Free_soft_today

The FST stands for Free_soft_today, the next two letters are the
country code. The numbers are likely a revision. Just a guess,
by looking at the only hit I could find that came close to
matching. Once I had the key name, I fed that back into
the search engine, and found this example.

You can get Adwcleaner here. Do a scan and see
what it finds.
