Hi, I’m trying to figure out if I have a malware problem. My PC’s startup seemed sluggish today, even after a restart, so I checked out the Startup Tab in Task Manager and found an item called “Bose Updater” (it was enabled when I first checked). This isn’t entirely weird, I have a pair of Bose headphones that required an update app, but that EXE file doesn’t seem to exist at that filepath, even with Hidden Items visible, and it’s not in the normal Program Files folder either. I checked Programs and Features on Control Panel and there’s no Bose app. I also did a full search of My PC through File Explorer with the terms “Bose” and “Boseupdater” and nothing came up except a Microsoft Edge user data file, from Bose’s website.

I also did a full System scan with Defender and Malwarebytes Free, with no positives. Should I be concerned?
