    I have no idea how I got these and I was just scrolling through program files and spotted things that I don't remember installing. Looks like I might have some possible threats to my security.

    Can I get help identifying these?


    And ways to get rid? I'm thinking just to clean install...

    With that, i'm wondering if my 2nd hdd could be infected? It's data and where my downloads go, but my main OS drive is an SSD and where I install programs.

    Could other things be infected? Like, I want to do MozBackup and back up my bookmarks...

    Install Jammer is a multiplatform GUI installer... I don't know if it was installed as part of some other program you installed with knowledge.

    AmInoSingLun is an Icon utility, I think.. I'm not sure.. did you check it up on google?

    UTS device driver.. well, no idea - googling showed that it's probably the device drivers of the UTS phones..

    In any case, all of these might be legitimate programs but just installed unknowingly as part of other installation.

    Did you run a AV / antispyware scan?

    Wow! That definately looks like a virus my friend.

    I strongly suggest you format your computer and reinstall your windows! Good luck!

    I hope you were being sarcastic.
    I wouldn't follow this advice.

    No BIOS update needed this time?
    I thought it was part of the mantra.
