hello everyone,
A recent scan has found this registry entry and these files. are they safe or are they virus/malware/spyware or traces of virus/malware/spyware etc.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.com/search?q=hp%20assistat&form=WNSGPH&qs=SW&cvid=abee8ac32569465895bba270caef994f&pq=hp%20assistat&nclid=0ED39ADB9642D6A945440994DFD21348&ts=1462992234518&nclidts=1462992234&tsms=518
the files that i found where a bunch of files in system32 ending in snapshot.etl. Have no idea if they are safe or not.
Thank you everyone?
