File purpose and description:
Fnqurl.exe is a program which has a very suspicious name and is located buried in your windows or system32 folder. This always raises a red flag when I review these types of programs. I do not have a copy of this program, and information seems very limited. If this were on my computer I would start by renaming the file because its a suspicious file. Change the name from fnqurl.exe to fnqurl.BACKUP, and then reboot your computer. If the computer runs fine and all applications seem to be fine after a few weeks, then you can delete it, or simply leave it as it cannot run anyways under that different name. Its better to be safe then sorry. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)
Actual file or task name: (Note that you can view the entire list here)
fnqurl.exe
File type:
This is an executable program file.
File or folder location:
This file will be found on your hard drive at C:\WINDOWS\System32\fnqurl.exe
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, fnqurl.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 fnqurl.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.
