    RtlS5Wake app. Trojan Virus?

    When I restart or shutdown my computer a message appears stating an app called RtlS5Wake is preventing my computer from restarting and gives me the option to cancel or restart anyway, which I always choose.

    I googled RtlS5Wake and found out it is part of a product known as Realtek-WOW-Utility which is one of the apps running upon startup. Based on the Google results, it appears this is a Trojan Virus and should be removed from my computer, which BTW is running
    Windows 10.

    Can someone please confirm if I should remove this app and provide instructions on how to remove it.

    Thanks in advance
