After analyzing my laptop using grindinsoft anti-malware I found 4 viruses (Trojan) in hpswsetup folder, and when I tried to delete it asked for administrator permission, so normally I shouldn't delete it but what about found viruses is it normal or there is way to get rid of them.

waiting for any helpful solution from the community

thank you

Hi,

 

I would get a second or third opinion. Submit the suspected files at VirusTotal (Link).

 

You can also try Trend Micro's free scan (Link).

 

Your AV software may be finding false positives.
