Opened my task manager and saw this creepy .exe file running (yikes), but not using any disk or cpu. Scanned with malwarebytes and nothing was found. Open all apps and see Candy Crush with a 'new' label next to it., I uninstalled Candy Crush and the exe was gone. I used the program "Search Everywhere" to delete the temp files and I scanned again with malwarebytes and nothing was found. It might just be me but it seems pretty stupid of Windows to just install a game and keep a creepy .exe file running in the background without asking.

I *DO NOT* have Candy Crush installed, unless it was done WITHOUT MY PERMISSION........
Yet, I have this exe file. I think it's a threat.
