File purpose and description:

HOMERunner.exe is a program most likely installed by you sometime after you had purchased your computer. Always double check the disk location, as that will help verify if it is spyware or virus related, or if it is installed in the proper disk location. The disk location is shown below. This program is from TomTom. This is a system tray application and you will see an icon in your system tray with this running at startup. If you are using the TomTom service then you most likely have this in your startup (mostly on Vista). This file is considered safe and is not spyware or virus related. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
homerunner.exe

File type:
This is an executable program.

File or folder location:

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, homerunner.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 homerunner.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.
