    I noticed a very strange exe file name in protection history. dbf6b72f.exe


    Hi. Yesterday when I was looking in protection history I noticed that controlled folder access blocked a random exe dbf6b72f.exe file from accessing my folders. I can't find any information about it in google and I can't even find the exe file in the explorer. Can someone tell me what that file is? Thanks.

    :)

    Exe file slow to open

    MSE doesn't slow down EXE files so turning it off would make no difference AND its not worth the risk. What exe is he even trying to run?
