Windows 10: TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen

I have been advised that TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen is a part of Microsoft Windows. I have further seen advice that it is a Trojan. My computer has had a number of this item (also TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen2 and TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen3) in various Windows files (eg
disk2/Windows//WinSxS/wow64_microsoft-windows-securitycenter-core_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.17134.1_none_0a15945c4fa3fe226/wscadminui.exe) and have had conflicting reports as to what they are. What is the truth?

Crypted files

When trying to open my pictures today, it appears that they have all been "crypted", they now show up as Adobe files. Adobe won't open them because their crypted. They are pictures transferred from the phone and/or my camera on my last computer and transferred
to the new computer. Transfer was in April '16 and they were ok, but something has happened since. Are they lost? Should I remove them from the computer. Someone suggested going into properties and removing the encryption, but it doesn't show as bein checked
in properties. Thanks in advance.
