I get some pop ups about ADS off and on while my system is clean. Can anyone tell me what are these?

Thanks

Can you tell us who is the maker of the wmimrvse.exe is? Just click on it and CIS will show the properties of that file.

Jacob,

That was my mistake that I did not check. I will check next time but I am sure it was legit.

I have seen such pop ups in the past on my clean system as well.

This is something to do with disk/partition quotas on an ntfs file system
Something along the lines of a journaling file system.

Maybe someone who knows more in depth can chip in,

Hmm… me also never think of it as a malware. May be it,s a bug? Who can understand this type of pop up and what is its purpose?

They must fix it IMHO.

Ok, another one. The process wmiprvse.exe is a legit one.
