This is on my Windows 7 64 bit system. Starting this morning, I get a popup in the notificaton area that  "Operation Failed" .  The contents of the noticification is: "Backup Validation task execution failed.  Description: Stage Description.  See operation log for details" From what I can find this COULD be related to the Windows backup, however I don't have it turned on since I use Acronis True Image.   Looking at some system logs I also found refrence to "SASDIFSV" and "SASKUTIL"  which is apparently related to Super Antispyware, which I do not have.  I ran a full Malwarebytes scan (I have a paid version) and it did not find anything.  MSE scan did not find anything either.  I did find, doing a google search, that the SASDIFSV and SASKUTIL can be deleted from the registry.  I did a registry scan and found them in 3 places.  There was a 3rd SAS file but I don't remember what it was.  They were pointing to some garbage characters and then my hard drive\users\my name\appdata\local but I didn't find anything there.  With the garbage characters before the hard drive letter, it looks suspicious.  They are still being referenced in the Windows Event Log, as I've restarted the system after deleting the registry entries.  I generated a Hijack log with WinPatrol but I didn't see anything, but maybe I don't know what I was really looking for.  Worst case I can reformat and restore from my last Acronis full hard drive backup on 6/4.
