Just checking my startup tab on msconfig, I noticed that I have two
new files there:

xvkwsftav
xctvsftav

I've tried to find out what these are through internet lists but I
could not find them anywhere. Maybe they are part of some recent
software I have loaded.

Any idea what they are and can I "uncheck" them?
