SppExtComObj.Exe file detected by Defender
Hello,
I just ran an analysis of my PC with Windows Defender, and I noticed that there were files named SppExtComObj.Exe that were detected, but they were listed in my exclusions for a reason I don't know.
Is it an overzealous reaction from my antivirus, or are these malicious files that I need to delete? If I need to delete them, can I do it through Windows Defender?
If this file is not malicious, what is its purpose? I wanted to delete it, but since I'm not very knowledgeable, I didn't want to risk it being an important component.
As a picture is worth a thousand words, here is a screenshot:
Thank you for helping me!

How can I restore my legal Windows license that I purchased? And I was so sure I had uninstalled Web Companion!
-
Moderatorwell no otherwise I would have told you to restore it =)
In 130 days Windows will no longer be activated, you will be able to use it but not some functions like changing the wallpaper, some other settings, etc.
I summarized what to do here: https://www.malekal.com/supprimer-kmspico/
No need to uninstall since you don't have it.
Remove the exceptions, delete everything, use the zip
And enter your Windows 10 Pro key as indicated.

To find the Windows key, I used this method.

Is that okay?

ModeratorWhy create multiple threads on forums, I don't see the point.
Otherwise, FRST is not useful.
You clearly have a KMSPico license....
See my explanations.
Otherwise, Web Companion is a potentially unwanted program, to uninstall.
CCleaner is not really useful, even though it’s recommended everywhere.
If you want to keep it, disable CCleaner’s monitoring, which is unnecessary; it starts up with Windows and slows it down with its constant cleanups, see: https://www.malekal.com/supprimer-ccleaner-demarrage-windows/

Moderator@Batz1625You are holding two people from two different forums for a simple problem.
For FRST, because it is not a malware issue. -

Moderator@Batz1625I wanted to say that we could use it to help others.
In short, you need to uninstall KMSpico and re-enter the Windows 10 Pro key that you purchased.

In fact, I bought this computer with Windows 10 Pro, but as mentioned earlier, someone who was more or less "well-intentioned" downloaded a pirated version of Windows 7 on my computer to create a USB key. I had issues of this kind with a file named gendows that you just helped me get rid of.

Hello,
So, I suggest you follow this tutorial (from Malekal_morte-), however I am not a computer expert, even though I am interested in it I might not be of much help...
To check the computer, I invite you to perform this FRST analysis and send back the reports:
Follow the FRST tutorial. (take the time to read carefully, everything is well explained)
https://www.malekal.com/tutoriel-farbar-recovery-scan-tool-frst/
Three FRST reports will be generated:
FRST.txt
Shortcut.txt
Additionnal.txt
Send these 3 reports to the site https://pjjoint.malekal.com/ to share them.
In return, provide the 3 pjjoint links that lead to the reports here in a new reply so we can review them.
Thank you :)

Someone on Tom's guide advised me to do the same thing, but the site to generate the links was this one, https://security-x.fr/up/, he only had two links to send and this screenshot.

Thank you!

ModeratorIf this computer was sold with Windows 7, the key would need to be provided and KMSpico uninstalled.
--
Please press any key to continue the cleanup... -
but I don’t really understand why they refuse to help me? I haven’t done anything wrong?
-
Honestly, I don't think I've done anything illegal, other than lending my computer to a malicious individual I trusted. It's a shame I can't get help because of that :(
-
I lent my computer to a friend this spring, who installed a pirated version of Windows 7 to put it on a USB drive, but you even helped me get rid of it. However, I am supposed to use a legal version of Windows 10, I don't quite understand.

ModeratorHello,
These files are related to KMSpico.
Read: https://www.malekal.com/kmspico/
It is not legal to bypass licenses and the forum does not provide support for such programs (against the rules).

Moderator@Batz1625The answer is in the link.
You or someone used KMSPico to activate Windows without paying.
The latter works with paid licenses.
