Hi

 

So i shut down my PC a bit ago and it said waiting for applications to close - and this unknown thing, Cursor Hider, was one of them. I did not install it, nor did i agree to anything remotely close to it. Now i read that it could possibly be a keylogger and is 66% dangerous (file.net). I cannot find it in searches of my PC, nor can i find it in my Program Files. Currently running malwarebytes as we speak. Windows 10 64 bit pro btw.

 

EDIT:

 

What is this? Is it harmful? Why is it there? What is it doing?

Have you checked "C:/Program Files", "C:/Program Files (x86)" and "C:/ProgramData" (this one is hidden; might have a space)?

 

If you go into tack manager, can you see the program running there? (check all of the tabs)

It could have a virus on it, but have you downloaded anything in the past several days?
