    "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Microsoft\Protect\S-1-5-18\Preferred" GetSTS.exe - Google Search

    I am not sure what tool you used to come up with that line item - GetSTS.exe? A review of that particular line item by itself in Google does not provide any indications for malware. Appears to be an item in the 'system restore' area.
