So I'm visiting my sister and as usual I take a look at her PC (Windows
10, all recent updates), mostly to update old software. Her C: drive was
all clogged up, a folder (Software) that I use has miraculously
vanished, Fortnite was installed, ... At his point, I'm happy Chrome
isn't installed (again).

Then I look at the Registry and I see this: ><https://i.postimg.cc/W3TGJbdK/regedit.png>

Seriously, try to put that as a filter in Regmon(or whatever

That can't be good, right? Avast can't find anything. CCleaner doesn't
show me these files and SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes don't raise an >alarm either.

What could this be? The most recent backup image (Macrium) is dated
2018, but I'm inclined to use it to get rid of this crap... unless
anyone else has a better idea?
