Just a quick question: I started up my pc today and found a new shortcut on my desktop called "Google Earth Pro" with a greyed out app icon, I uninstalled google earth months ago and now this suddenly showed up, is this malware?

 

Chrome, Stream and Geforce Experiance are the only shortcuts i keep, all the rest are in my start menu

(OS: Windows 10)

(i don't have an antivirus, i just reinstall windows whenever i get malware. Inefficient, but i can't afford antivirus and i don't feel comfortable using free ones)

Is it in your add or remove programs list?

If you check task manager, is there any weird programs running in the background that might reflect that?

Everything Looks like typical windows 10, 

 

(I downloaded Asphalt 8 manually about a year ago, deleted it just now

 

Google Earth Pro shows up in apps & features, everything in there looks exactly how it should)

My only guess is if you downloaded anything recently and forgot to check a box in an installer.

 

AKA if you downloaded Facebook recently and there was a hidden "also install Chrome and Google Earth Pro" checkbox.
