Hello everyone!
I am on Windows 10 and have been noticing some weird programs running in my task manager that have been killing my CPU and it's starting to worry me. The program is called Zeallsoft Super Webcam Recorder Setup but I have never downloaded this. It sounds super fishy, I know.
- Here is a screenshot for what I am referencing: http

- Here is a screenshot from the Details tab: http/i.imgur.com/1eo8Bbk.png
- On the resource monitor, it's called java.exe, so that's scary.
The program eats a lot of my CPU (~30%) when I am idle, so when I'm gaming, it's even more apparent that something is going on.
I have killed the task so many times but it just keeps coming back. I tried to Google what it was and I am having no luck at all (it just brings me to the Zeallsoft software). When I right click and open the file location, it opens up my Windows folder in my C: drive so that's worrisome in itself.
This EXACT thing was happening to me last week, and weeks before that, but the program was called 7z setup sfx and also had a Java icon and was named java.exe. So my suspicion is that whatever it is, it's changing names. I tried googling that too because it also killed my CPU and acted exactly like Zeallsoft Super Webcam Recorder Setup, but had a different name.
Does anyone have any idea what this is and how I could resolve it? It seems that the commonality is that they're both a java.exe that, when I open the file location, it takes me to my "Windows" folder.
What I've Tried in Both Instances I've Seen the Issue:
- Full scan with Panda Antivirus (I even ran this to scan processes running while the process was running; no luck)
- Full scan with Malwarebytes
Thank you for any assistance! I can provide more details if necessary.
EDIT: So I was messing around in my Windows folder and I see java.exe. When I open the properties, I see this http/i.imgur.com/A7aGhyR.png.
Should I delete this or will there be repercussions?
