Those two files are part of your Nvidia driver :-)

Info on nvstor32.sys:

I also found this in the Nvidia forums:

Quoting from the relevant post from the Nvidia forum link above - highlighted the relevant part in bold:

Quote:

NVIDIA had changed the names for their S-ATA and RAID drivers. NVSTOR.SYS is the name of Vista's in-box nForce S-ATA driver (32/64bit), the actual 32bit Vista S-ATA drivers are named NVSTOR32.SYS, whereas the 32bit nForce RAID driver name now is NVRD32.SYS (formerly NVRAID.SYS).

In other words, nvstor32.sys indicates your bit system. If you had a 64-bit system, it would be nvstor64.sys.

FYI.
Both file names & descriptions are below.


nvstor32 > nvstor32.sys > Related to nvstor32.sys NVIDIA® nForce(TM) Sata Performance Driver.


nvstor > nvstor.sys > Related to nvstor.sys nForce(TM) Sata Performance Driver from NVIDIA Corporation .

They are legitimate.
