2021-01-12T14:02:42+00:00 My laptop had been slowing down and I couldn't understand why. I cleared everything that I could think of. And ran a sfc /scannow. Then I noticed an app in settings that I hadn't seen before. It was SSOption.
I wasn't sure if it was malware or part of a Microsoft download.
I took your advice and uninstalled it in the control panel and downloaded Malwarebytes.
Malwarebytes did a scan and found several pups were hiding in my laptop.
I thank you very much for your help.
Have a great day.))))))

It appears to be some sort of malware/adware I would recommend removing it if you don't have a specific use for it.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
Kind Regards,
Elise
