@Sven: The virus scanners at VirusTotal did not report anything suspicious about the NFWCHK.exe file. According to the description it appears to be checking if the correct version of .NET is installed, in order to run some of Wondershare's software.

But just to make sure, please upload your copy of NFWCHK.exe to virustotal for a scan.
