Hi folks,
Poking around my Windows 7 'puter the other day (actually trying to figure out why windows update isn't installing some of the security updates, but that's another story), I came across a file called WDOoptimiseur.exe. I didn't recognize it.
It was located in c:\program files\common files\ and there were several (20+) other files in the folder with it -- dll's and such. File properties reported the creator as "PC SOFT". It was installed on my system on October 20, 2016.
Like a good doobie,I clicked the exe file. What came up was something that looked like a program, written in French. "What is this?" I asked myself as I exited quickly. Soon thereafter, I used Revo Uninstaller to uninstall it. It had written about four lines in the registry which I deleted.
So far there don't seem to be any ill effects. System is actually running faster now, but that could be due to the other housecleaning I did recently.
Google/yahoo/duck duck searches provide no information on WDOoptimiseur or PC SOFT whatsoever (PC Soft seems to be a defunct company). Spybot, MS Security Essentials and Ccleaner don't report it as malware. So, does anyone know what WDOoptimiseur might be? Good, bad, or otherwise?
Thanks
