File purpose and description:
This file is often called malware, due to the fact it automatically installs. This is a program that will change your mouse pointer to fancy shapes and sizes based on what you are viewing. Removing this is entirely up to you, as you may have intentionally installed this. If this arrived without your consent, then I would remove it. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)
Actual file or task name:
comet.exe
File type:
This is known as part of comet cursor.
File or folder location:
Location of comet.exe is not currently listed. This is known as malware and is called Comet Cursor.
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, comet.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 comet.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. You can view the entire tasklist directory with the link below.
