Windows 10: Windows batch file: Driver Installation - Is this file safe or spyware or even required...

Windows batch file: Driver Installation - This file was installed on my desktop on 12/18/2019 per the properties

Is this file safe or spyware or even required for Windows 10?


It is on my desktop since Dec. 18 & I don't recall authorizing it. It may have been placed there by scammers who took control of my computer on that same date.


As a result of the scammers, I had to close my bank account and am in process of changing all my passwords. HP checked my computer, but did not mention anything about that file and since I had not noticed it, I didn't ask. McAfee hasn't taken action on this file, either, but I don't think keeping it on my desktop is a good idea even if it is a legitimate Windows file.


Please advise.

Batch File Recognition

I use batch file to take multiple log file from the network at the boot time and to test the existence of diferent spyware in a network. I know basic, batch and that is ~ all that I know for now, but I'm at university... I must learn more.

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.
