AppSetup_15.9.exe virus or harmless?

Norton 360 for Windows
1

I don’t remember downloading it. I accidentally double-clicked on it but nothing appeared. Maybe it was so fast I didn’t notice it. There are the files CrashDumps\AppSetup_15.9.exe.28064.dmp and in some other folder there is Report.wer. Norton says this program whatever it is, is legit. Should I be worried? Thank you.

Norton File Insight reports program is legit?
Does File Insight report name, source, checksum?
So, you see the program?
Can you submit item to VirusTotal?
Do you know file checksum?

my Google search is not finding AppSetup 15.9.exe

where is file - that you accidentally clicked on it?

The file is in the Downloads folder. I cannot remember what I might have done for this to happen, but it was downloaded yesterday about 0000 UTC.

Virus Total says that 6 of 73 thought this was bad/suspicious/etc.

File Insight tricks you into “trust checking” the file by being deliberately vague.

Here is the result of File Insight:

Don’t remember what I was doing at the time or what I did to cause it to download. I intended to start the Gnu Octave setup but double clicked on AppSetup_15.9.exe instead. Norton 360 claims “thousands” of their users have this file and are nuts about it and that it is only a week or so old. This file is present only in the Download folder. A search of the computer shows that the associated file qqwdsdff.dll is not on the hard drives. Other than Norton messages about unusual amount of traffic displaying once a day, nothing new has happened. I don’t know whether this is related.
