Stray files—is it safe to remove them
I'm currently using windows 8.1 on an Intel DH61WW mobo.
I have these 8 files located in 3 spots on my hard drive.
EfiInvoker.dll, EfiInvoker64.dll , itkEfiVar.dll , itkEfiVar64.dll , invoker.sys , invoker64.sys , itkvar.sys , itkvar64.sys
On C drive outside of any folder on May 20 , on Ron's desktop on May 27 and in Ron's downloads on May 28.
I'd like to delete them if they're not necessary.
I Googled them but cannot get straight information because it might be malware.
I'm believing they are legitimate files from Intel because it was around that time period that I was upgrading BIOS on my motherboard to accommodate a 3rd generation i7 CPU from a 1st generation intel P G840.
I'm thinking that these files are part of the Intel scanner to see which updates my DH61WW needed. Or possibly the BIOS exe file I downloaded.
The only Intel programs I have in my Add/Remove programs is: Intel Network Connections on May 28 & Intel Engine Management Components on May 27.
As always, your help is appreciated it.
