Answer
Sounds like a virus or malware. Have you checked?

I'm running Windows 10 Pro, and it's not on my system. If your antivirus and MalwareBytes can't find & remove it, I'd try renaming it if it will let you. If none of the above works, I'd boot a Linux disc and do the rename. You can download Linux Mint from here:

Good luck.

Thank you. I have run antivirus and an Malware checker and they were not botherted by it Happy I have renamed it and will let it sit a little while to see if anything misses it. I have Windows 10 Pro also so knowing you do not have it is reassuring. Thanks again.
