File purpose and description:
This is a program that is obviously trying to look like a windows program, but it isn't. This is considered a trojan horse program that has been reported to collect bank account information. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)
Actual file or task name:
mobsync32.exe
File type:
This is an executable program.
File or folder location:
This can be found in your Windows system folder, and is most likely running at pc startup time.
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, mobsync32.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 mobsync32.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.
