Is p2pnetworking.exe safe or is this task spyware?



Purpose of p2pnetworking.exe:









File purpose and description:

This is an advertising and pop-up adware program and is known to monitor your browsing habits. This most likely was installed with another program without your knowledge. This is also known to exchange data with an external comuter, meaning it will track your browsing habits and display pop-up ads to your computer. I would remove this file immediately if this were on my computer, as it will be found in your startup program list and will create annoying popup ads. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
p2pnetworking.exe

File type:
This is an executable file.

File or folder location:
Search for this file as the disk location may change in an attempt to hide it.


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, p2pnetworking.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 p2pnetworking.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.
