    I'm running Windows 7x64. My computer is working fine, and all virus and malware scans are clean. However, Windows 7 Firewall Control has alerted me 7 times that setup.exe files were trying to get past the firewall. The displayed locations are in 7 different nonexistent alphabet soup directories. For example, one is c:\73842d5512db0439ee82eb5f\setup.exe.

    This looks highly suspicious, but I can't find any of the setup.exe files. Has anyone seen this before?
