C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess
Solved
Good evening,
I realized that the boost_interprocess folder on my computer had (once again) returned after I declared war on it here => https://forums.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-28420896-probleme-pc-trop-lent#p28493927
Apparently it was coming from my Google session, which is why it appeared on my computer whenever I logged in. However, since it had disappeared (for good, or so I thought), I had never logged back in.
I then decided to completely uninstall Google Chrome (with Revo Uninstaller to leave no trace), but after a reboot check, it was still there.
So here’s my question: is it really a threat to my computer? If yes (even if no), where does it come from (given that even if I delete it, it reappears every time I start the computer) and how can I get rid of it permanently?
PS: For now, I haven't reinstalled it; I'm using IE.
Have a good evening and thank you for the future responses :)

We have all been beginners at something at some point.
But knowledge is the reward for diligence. -
As I said above, IT comes back every time I RESTART, I'm not going to delete it every time I turn on my computer
There is absolutely nothing in the folder yet, but if it were harmless, I don't see why it would keep coming back.
The subfolder often changes its name, by the way: C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess\3EA2ED4BE2A4CE01, never the same. -
Re
A window appears on PC startup?
Is that it?

No, there is nothing; the only way for me to realize that he is there is to check for myself.
