    Mysterious Folder in Program Files


    I have a strange folder in C:\Program Files (x86) called "My Company Name" and inside it another one called "My Product Name". This one is empty. My ESET Smart Security found nothing. I can't figure it out where it came from. Is this malware?

    It might have been created by something you installed. Write back after you do some research on the web.
