[afaque123]

hello everyone,

i updated to latest version of windows 10 update which is 10576 and after updating ive seen that whenever i leave my pc as idle, after like 5 mins or so i see a comand window popup with the file drivesnapshot.exe running and its written on its bar, then after sometime the cmd disappears, im really worried about this and i wanna know that if this is a malware or something, plz help me here.

Have you looked through your installed programs?
It seems there's a program out there called Drive Snapshot, it might have been installed on your computer without your permission or even knowledge (possibly installing through another program as a "Free add-on").
Also look through your start up programs and processes. If you see it there you can uncheck it, restart and see if it's still running.

program used in backup utilities. it is safe to uninstall this program unless your backup utility uses this particular .exe program...occasionally, some backup utilities use drivesnapshot.exe within their own program so make sure your backup program does not before uninstalling.
