large .sys file

My system32 folder suddenly shows a very large (17GB) file: 532C1EA565.sys. It appeared 2 days ago and my system has slowed considerably since. Can I safely delete this file?

    I think it goes without saying that the file should not be there,
    I dont know what it is or how it got there but
    one place to start would be running sfc.exe


    start - run - type 'cmd'
    type 'sfc /scannow' without the inverted commas

    link to what this program does:
