    Right-click on it and select Properties. The Details tab should tell you what it is and which company wrote it. The Digital Signatures tab may show more information, assuming it's digitally signed.

    Only reference I could find is to one component of Nero. But there shouldn't be multiple copies.

    That's only 56MB of files. I would not mess with them since they take up so little room. If you are determined to do so then please make an image backup using Macrium Reflect first so if something does go wrong, recovery is only 20 to 30 minutes away.
