Autodesk desktop licensing service
Flexnet Licensing service


what are this two services? I dont remember downloading any of that software at all.
I dont even use autodesk or flexnet

I checked them using CCleaner and both does not have publisher too.
I have a bitdefender AV Plus but it did not detect them both as malware.

What should I do?

Flexnet is a licensing service that comes with auto desk and you must’ve had some kind of auto desk product installed. Some kind of CAD software. Flexnet is the licensing component.

at some point, one of these products was installed because this stuff doesn’t install itself. This just doesn’t mysteriously happened, so if you didn’t do it, somebody else did and you might want to reformat an set up your system from scratch because who knows what else they’ve done to it

cant bitdefender AV plus detect them?
 
One would hope so, but I think maybe this was installed before you took ownership of the machine. Is that the case?
