This file comes with File & Folder Protector and causes me to blue screen every few minutes. It hides itself in C:\Windows (I have the first listed version) and it's hard to figure out how to delete.

This is from File and Folder Protector. It is needed for the program to lock and unlock files and folders on the fly. It shouldn't be harmful.
