File purpose and description:

avgtray.exe is a program file which may have been installed on your computer, and most likely never arrived on your computer as preinstalled software. The exact folder location is also shown below for you, so you can verfiy it is not spyware, as many spyware programs use similiar names and just locate them elsewhere on your hard drive. Always check the proper disk location of your programs if you are suspicious. The purpose of this avgtray.exe program is to scan your computer for various viruses and trojans, and it will allow easy access to your virus detector software as it sits in the system tray. You should see an icon in your system tray, and this will also appear in your computer startup software list. This is part of AVG antivirus, and it is a safe file. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes. You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows "task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files on your computer, for example, avgtray.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned. You can always find the location of avgtray.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options, but I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location.
