What is WinDivert64.sys

Recently my laptop has been giving me the BSOD, so I decided to run the Driver Verifier to make sure if any drivers were crashing my system.

When I booted it back up, it gave me the error of a driver that failed: WinDivert64.sys

What is WinDivert64.sys? I tried searching for it online, but I got very mixed results with some saying it's a Windows component and some saying it's a virus.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    No, it is not a Windows component
    It is a driver, from WinDivert
