There are two sys files (which are usually drivers AFAIK) in my system32\drivers folder. I don't know how they these two files were installed on my system. I might have put them there as I was trying to develop a mouse statistics program.
I cannot delete them. I tried to delete them in safe mode but I could not.
I can see these two drivers loaded in my system on DriverView (https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html). I am attaching a screenshot:

I tried various programs such as Erase (https://eraser.heidi.ie/) and IOBit Unlocker
(https://www.iobit.com/en/iobit-unlocker.php) but I haven't been able to delete them.

I cannot find them in the output of "sc query" command.

These sys files aren't from Logitech or Microsoft. Just the fact that their name are mouse.sys and keyboard.sys doesn't necessarily mean these files are there for the mouse and keyboard to work properly. Or maybe they are necessary. That's why I am asking. Please look at from which company they are from. It says "Oblita".

Any idea about what they are for and how I can delete them?

I was not even able to remove in Safe Mode. So, I tried to remove them by tampering with their registry entry. But after then my keyboard and mouse completely stopped working and as a result of them not working I was not able to login into my Windows account. So, I have done a Windows repair with a windows installation disk. After the windows repair, the drivers were still there and they were loaded into the windows.
I started researching how to remove them on google. On their Github repository, I came across the following issue:

https://github.com/oblitum/Interception/issues/79

So I downloaded the latest release and executed the following command: "install-interception.exe /uninstall". After I executed the command and restarted my system I saw it did not do the rick either. So, I installed the Interception by launching install-interception.exe. Then I restarted and then I uninstalled with "install-interception.exe /uninstall" again. After all this, the driver has been successfully removed.


Excuse, what is this garbage post?
1.) Is it bad to ask it in multiple forums?
2.) Why should I ask it on other forums?
3:) Why is this your business?
4.) How is your post contributing?
