winit?

[V_j_V]

Hi.

When I turned my monitor on not too long ago, I found that this icon was on my desktop that wasn't there before, called winit. So naturally, I became highly suspicious and was wondering what it was. I tried doing an internet search on it, but nothing came up. Since it just now appeared there recently, I thought it must have been some kind of malware, but I don't know what it is. Does anyone know anything about winit? Thanks.

I have no idea what it is, did you look at its properties for information? I would just delete it, that will move it to the recycle bin. If a few days do by with no issues, then dump the bin.

Thanks
