 Virus warning : Sena software
Yesterday my computer started acting really weird and as usual, I downloaded the latest Vipre Rescue. I have been using Vipre Internet Security for a number of years. You run in safe mode and rescue does its thing. 8 hours later, it found 2 trojan horses and a couple other things. These were hiding in Sena software. I don't know if it invaded the Sena stuff, or their stuff got hacked. The bottom line is that periodically you should run this rescue software, it is free even if you don't use their anti-virus. Put it into Google and you will find it. Over the years I have used this to fix a lot of friend's computer, finally, I got hit. NOTE: the different spelling of VIPRE.
One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

5/13/17 is when the folder was set up, so whatever that is. Like I said, the folder/program could have been hijacked by the virus.
Deanne, Vipre is one of the best and I run other scanners as well, there is always something, There is a small window between when the virus shows up and the virus protection is made aware of it and gets a fix. You might just fall thru that small window. I have mine set to check for updates every hour.
You should never rely on just one program, and run various scanners maybe once a month.

Happened to me a number of years ago back when phone lines and modems were the norm. I had to disable the AV for about 5 minutes while I was installing a new version and using a new product key. Malware came down in just those few minutes. Had to run Trend Micro House Call to clean it out!
