Output from the Everything search tool for "Compro".

The Compro TV card is long gone.

Check msconfig>Startup and >Services (after Hiding All MS Services) that only your AV is running.

Type services.msc to make sure the program added no Service - if so Disable it.

Nothing in Startup or Service belonging to Compro.

Bingo! to what Greg said. If there are no issues (you've not mentioned any) just keep on using the PC normally. There are 10s of thousands of files on any random PC that aren't used and cause no problems.

Those remainders will have no effect on your system but are just part of a catalogue of hundreds of drivers available if you ever plug back in the card.

You can delete them if you feel better, taking ownership if neccessary: Take Ownership Shortcut

I can't just delete them: Access denied.

I hadn't thought of taking ownership. I'll try that.

Quite so, and with 2TB of disc space, they're not taking up much room, so if I cannot delete them I'll just ignore them.

Sounds like a good plan.
