Riskware file in Windows?

My antivirus software allerted me of a file and classified it as riskware.



Inside the directory WINDOWS, I found the specific directory that caused the problem named as 'svchost', which contains a file named 'rec'.



I don't know if I shoud delete it or not. Is it a file critical for the system or is it indeed malware?

If your anti virus alerted you it is most likely to be riskware. Just quarantine it and see how your system performs. If it becomes unstable re-install it from quarantine.
