Is navload.ini safe or is this task spyware?



Purpose of navload.ini:









File purpose and description:

NavLoad.ini is a file that may have been installed on your computer when you purchased it or may have been installed by you. The exact disk location where it should be stored on your computer is also shown below to verfiy it is not spyware, as many spyware programs use similiar names and just locate them elsewhere on your hard drive. Always check the proper disk location of your programs if you are concerned that they may be spyware or virus related. This file is installed with Corel products and it is part of their registration reminder software. If this were on my computer I would remove it immediately, I don't need annoying reminders popping without me actually running something. This file will appear in your startup as a parm passed into Navbrowser.exe. This file is safe and is not virus or spyware related. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
navload.ini

File type:
This is an initialization file

File or folder location:
This file will be found on your hard drive at "C:\Windows\temp\NavBrowser.exe" /r /i


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, navload.ini 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 navload.ini 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.
