Oh also, sorry I misspoke in my last post. The directory with that exe does look a little suspicious.
(What I was referring to that doesn't look like a virus) is the Kernel Document with that extension. It looks like a valid application. But the folder location in the Registry, with the .exe, looks a little sus.

Go to that location on your H Drive.

Open H: drive, look for a folder that starts with the word Kernel. Does it exist? Open that folder. In that folder, is a file that starts with the word kernel? If you can find that exe file, upload it to:
VirusTotal

Screenshot the results

Nope there is no such folder

Well, you didn't use Shellmenunew- which would have told you a lot about it.

So I'm out, Unsubscirbed. Thank you for your time.

I just found this and i dont remember downloading it but I have in the past. And its the same date as the registry entry, its related to file recovery. So its because of this. But i dont have it installed, so maybe i had it installed before. Im going to try installing again then uninstalling and hoping it removes remnants.
