hi, i've been going through my nana's computer , and i noticed an app (or at least i think it's an app) called Hqghumeaylnif (maybe lnlf at the end, i cant really tell) which shows up as something that could potentially run on startup. it is turned off so it doesn't run as soon as she turns her computer on, but i'm still worried about what this might be. it has no icon. i don't know how to find out what it is or what app it may be or may come from, can anyone help? and if it is dangerous, how can i uninstall it?
the computer is a HP computer running windows 10 pro with an intel processor if that helps. i can provide more info if needed
 
Usually if the file name is gobbledegook then it’s either been misnamed by the user or more likely malware.
I would run a scan with Malwarebytes with the scan for root kits option enabled.
 
Doind a simple google search reveals that file is accoiate to a program called which is nothing more than crapware snale oil.

hqghumeaylnlf.exe is an executable exe file which belongs to the Fix PC problems and optimize performance process which comes along with the Super PC Tools Software developed by Super PC Tools software developer.

The worst way to have done it since it leaves all the registry referances, any other software referances that may be running.

Some times programs like this intergrate into the windows and installs files into several locations if not uninstalled correctly can turn the system into a door stop.

It may have been installed by some one or with another program you should of gone into the applications and properly removed the program.
