Is nvms.dll safe or is this task spyware?



Purpose of nvms.dll:









File purpose and description:

Nvms.dll is an executable program file that would have been installed by you. Always check the file location which is shown below, as this is a way to verify you have the correct file. Often spyware or virus writers use similiar names in hopes to fool you into thinking its a good file, but they place the spyware in other disk locations with the similiar or same name. This nvms.dll file is part of the Navisearch adware and spyware related software, and if it were on my computer I would remove this immediately. This may also be related to browser popups and advertising sent to you. This runs as a BHO in your browser. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
nvms.dll

File type:
This is an executable program.

File or folder location:
This program should be searched for but also can be found at C:\WINDOWS\System32\nvms.dll


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, nvms.dll 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 nvms.dll 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.
