    SensorDataService.exe is flagged as malware by adwcleaner, what your opinion ? I didn't have this with 8.1

    Such files simply send to Virustotal and let them check!

    False positive, it's a new service in W10.

    Just disable the service, lol..

    Also it's just a sensor data abstraction service for Applications to do fancy stuff...
    Code:
    Delivers data from a variety of sensors
    You can guess all you want or you can be less of a tardy troll and to a bit of research at least.
