I am using Windows XP Prof SP3.
I was reviewing my 'Program File Folders' in WIndows Explorer and noticed a ''ESTsoft' folder.
I checked Add/Remove Programs but there is no corresponding software program on the list.
What is ESTsoft, how did it get installed, and can the folder be removed without causing issues?.

ESTSoft is a South Korean software company. The folder is there because you installed one or more ESTSoft products, either intentionally or because it was bundled with something else you downloaded. If the folder is empty, you can remove it with no issues; if the folder is not empty, deleting it will undoubtedly cause something you have installed to no longer function.
