File purpose and description:
i1IMPipe.exe is a software program that most likely was installed by you at one time or another, and may have been installed without you even knowing. To help identify that this is not spyware or virus related, always verify the folder location, as spyware and virus writers often use similiar names or locations in an attempt to fool you. The disk location is listed for you below. This i1IMPipe.exe file is typically considered adware related software but it's not a dangerous program. Unless you know for sure that you want a program running on your system, and it suddenly appeared without any hardware or software installs, then I would remove it. I suspect it's ok to leave this program on your computer, but I was unable to verify it myself. If this program were on my computer and I did not install it, I would remove this. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)
Actual file or task name:
i1impipe.exe
File type:
This is an executable program.
File or folder location:
This file will be found at: C:\Program Files\iWon\Messenger\bin\i1IMPipe.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, i1impipe.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 i1impipe.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.
