As Ihave had the same sort of worries about this process as well as another one (from the same producer of files: Spigot.Inc) I have got the news that it is supposed to be files used in "YouTube Downloader Toolbar"!
I do not know for sure, but as I am relatively new in relation to You Tub, it can very well be true, i think

I WOULD call it a malicious programme. Read this:

Observe what the author of this article is saying and scan the pc with updated Malwarebytes.
