File purpose and description:

This is a well known worm or virus file, its location is listed below. Note that this also may be under the name lockx.exe as they are both basically the same type of worm. This is known as the virus name W32 Sdbot-add worm, and it most likely arrived from opening an email attachment that was sent to you, always remember to never open email attachments that are randomly sent or if it appears fishy. Once you have this virus (which is also considered part of a rootkit), it can resend without you knowing it by sending mails people in your address book, making it look like you are the sender of this rootkit virus. (Hoping that the receiver will open it and obtain the virus just like you did). This virus is a major security threat that needs action and needs to be deleted. Delete this lockx.exe file from your windows or system32 folder, and also delete it from your startup list so it will not run when you reboot. Update and run your virus scanner. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

File type:

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, lock1.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 lock1.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.
