File purpose and description:
Gadcom.exe is a program which could have been installed by you, this would not have arrived as preinstalled software on your computer. The actual disk location is also listed below, always verify where its located on your hard drive, as this makes sure it is not spyware, virus, or adware simply placed elsewhere on your computer, and using the same name in an attempt to fool you. This gadcom.exe program is a well know virus and trojan file spreading across the internet. You will notice a very big slowdown in your pc performance if you have this virus. Action should be taken to eliminate this, if this were on my computer I would remove this malware immediately. It will appear in your system startup (registry entry under the run key with a very large parameter number behind it, that can be ruanom), but other programs may also be running with this. This is a virus/trojan related program. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)
Actual file or task name:
gadcom.exe
File type:
This is an executable program.
File or folder location:
This will appear in your applications data folder and then look for \gadcom\gadcom.exe followed by a long random number used as a parameter.
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, gadcom.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 gadcom.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.
