There are different tests or things to look out for to determine if a program is safe or not. One of these things that you can do to find out if a file is safe is to check the location of the executable. Normally, Wondershare Helper Compact.exe is expected to run from C:\Program Files\Wondershare\DVD Creator\DVDCreator.exe and not anywhere else.

If you are finding it difficult to remove the software from your system, you should try scanning your PC for potential viruses and malware. Sometimes, you may find out that malware disguised as applications are affecting your computer. This malware keeps running in the background, causing problems for you and making sure your computer slows down. 

When this happens, you should, first of all, scan your computer using Windows defender before trying third-party options such as Malwarebytes.

In this solution, you will install a third-party application and, with it, search for Wondershare and delete all the entries manually.
