CONCERNS:
1. Foolishly, the EXE resides in the following locations on a Windows 7 machine:
C:\Users\[useraccount]\.explorer.local\
C:\Users\[useraccount]\.explorer.cache\
2. No legitimate app should reside in such a location, in lieu of c:\programfiles\
3. Moreover, NO entry is found under PROGRAMS AND FEATURES (aka ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS).
4. Additionally, the EXE's Properties offers NO File Description, Product Name, Copyright, and is UNSIGNED.
RESEARCH:
Upon inspection of the aforementioned assets, it was easy to determine which app this belongs to.
For example, an inspecting of:
C:\Users\[useraccount]\.explorer.cache\sha256a0c19e34a691775z0ff9c19e7b4z2ca6z1c4dd462bz19c712de5ca037709e195da25912\output_log.txt

Requested use of a blob cache at C:\Users\[useraccount]\.explorer.cache\, using the cache at C:\Users\[useraccount]\.explorer.cache\
cache http://eyes.nasa.gov/server/ from http://eyes.nasa.gov/blob/
Replacing urls starting with 'http://eyes.nasa.gov/server/' with requests to the blob store located at 'http://eyes.nasa.gov/blob/'
serverUrl = http://eyes.nasa.gov/server
animationUrl = http://eyes.nasa.gov/server
