Hi!

I know I asked, but since no one answered yesterday I deleted it, and now i regret it. I also did a FRST64 scan (after i deleted it, sadly) and it found the key but said No File since i deleted it. But it did say an other Task key before the affected one on the same line. would that one be of any use to know?

But also i did a new scan today and it found a Trojan.StolenData in C:\Windows\System32\Unknown . Its a folder with a program called VulkanRT-installer (which i think is a Nvidia program) and two other files, OpenCL32.dll and OpenCL64.dll. 

Tell me if there is anything i can do.
