    The name itself belongs to Windows and it is Windows driver.

    Why you want to delete it?

    Is there any error message?

    Did not work. I rebooted in safe mode, then I deleted.

    Thank you for your attention!

    The driver may be in use. Can you reboot and try deleting that file?

    Windows security shows a warning message about zamguard64sys. I can not activate "Memory Integrity".

    I am administrator the following commands worked:

    sc stop ZAM_Guard
sc delete ZAM_Guard
But, the command below did not work in Terminal Administrator.
del c:\windows\system32\drivers\zamguard64.sys
del : Não é possível remover o item C:\windows\system32\drivers\zamguard64.sys: O acesso ao caminho
