HideW.exe

Hello!

So I am fairly new to this forum however I wanted to show you guys something that nor Malwarebytes nor Windows Defender could detect on my PC. I was taking a look around, and noticed within my C:\\ProgramFiles(x86) an unusual folder called sp59755 and sp60655. So I decided to open them up and see what the heck was inside. I noticed very unusual exe that I had never seen before. So I have manually deleted those files however, turned back around and retrieved them from a shadow copy and am now going to run them on a VM. Has anyone ever seen this before? I have attached a screenshot of the contents inside the folder down below.

Those are legit files from an HP BIOS update.

I do not have any HP product? And I am not familiar with HP Bios having HideW.exe? Is there any source that reports these are safe?

I just downloaded one of your SP files directly from HP and extracted it the files are the same and yes HP uses them. I have attached them for you. There are 4 unknown AV programs that falsely detect that file.

I will ask your post to be moved to the correct section so the staff can confirm what I have said.
