fst_au_92 and fst_94
The first one appeared recently and I deleted it, then it came back and now the second one has appeared. what are they and how important are they? At the same time client connect LTD infected the laptop I uninstalled it and ran malwarebytes. I just checked the laptop and they are gone also, so I might have fixed it. Ps is there anything else in the pic sus? It is not the whole add remove page as a pic of the page is hard to read http://tinypic.com/r/2rgho5t/8 |

That's the first clue IMO. It has to do with your Intel performance control software/utility. -- I haven't viewed the other replies. |

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. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

How is it probably not an accurate assessment? Even if it is the
default icon, the icons are grouped together.

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 This page provides links to the latest versions http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ads/index.html -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

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. -- Gene E.

Ps is there anything else in the pic sus? It is not the whole add remove page as a pic of the page is hard to read http://tinypic.com/r/2rgho5t/8 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. |

It is not the whole add remove page as a pic of the page is hard to read http://tinypic.com/r/2rgho5t/8 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. http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-...-108-free.html You can get Adwcleaner here. Do a scan and see what it finds. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ Paul |
