I didn't install CardSpace, it just showed up in an error message when I did a routine drive cleanup. The message read something like, "The file cannot be accessed" and gave me the options to "Skip", "Skip All", "Retry", or "Cancel". I did a search for it and Windows came up with nothing matching. Then, I saw the icon for it in Control Panel, so I right clicked on it and there were only 4 options "Open", "Cut", "Create Shortcut" and "Delete". I clicked Delete and it said "Are you sure you want to delete CardSpace? To restore it later go to Control Panel." What's up with this? Is it some kind of virus? Any help will be greatly appreciated. P.S. I am currently using Avira and Windows Defender and neither of them detected anything weird.
