    It's presumably the Search Everything third-party search program. It's
    an excellent program. For searches on file name, it's very
    fast--probably the fastest you can find.

    Today, May 23, Outlook stopped working when I awoke my computer from "Sleep." I restarted Windows 10 and, when trying to restart Outlook I was greeted by a small popup wiindow asking whether I wanted to run Everything.com.

    I didn't. Then I uninstalled Everything.exe and Outlook worked correctly thereafter. Perhaps it is not a virus, but its method scared me and I don't trust it.
