Hello everyone.
Today this weird program wstore.exe started showing up in my list of processes.
Take a look: http://imgur.com/a/kcDo0
I have looked at the file and it is 244 kb large and it is located in
C:\users\(my name)\appdata\roaming\internet\wstore
I have tried to shut it down but it always shows up about 20 minutes later.
I have also run a full Windows Defender scan, and a CCleaner scan, none of which found any problems.
Do you have any sugestions on what is causing this, and possibly a way to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Full pc specs if it matters:
i5-4590
GTX 1060
8 gb ram
Windows 10 (64 bit)
500 watt cooler master PSU
Asus b85m-g motherboard
Crucial BX100 250 gb OS drive
2 tb seagate secondary drive
 
Solution
You have a virus, otherwise known as Windows 10.

In an all serious note. This is the Windows Store executable. Most likely it is downloading or updating an app.
So , it appears that program is the windows store . exe. also known as wstore.exe

Try to delete the file. it may come back ?
looks like it may be a part of the windows 10 OS. in that case it may keep coming back...

If it is not harming your system which i doubt it is, leave it alone, it is the windows store program. :)

youre the one that got windows 10 , lol, so now you have to deal with that. I prefer xp :)
