File purpose and description:

Papim.dll is a file which most likely found its way onto your system without your even knowing it. The correct file location is also listed at the bottom of this page, and should always be checked to make sure you are looking at the same folder. This file appears to be part of the virus/worm known by the name Worm.Fatso-A.Process. I cannot verify this for certain at this time but it has been found on computers that also contain this virus. The best I can recommend right now is to turn off your BHO entries so this doesn't run (you can always rename it to a different name also to make sure its not running anymore, and rename back if needed). If you do not know how to turn off BHO's, download Complete Cleanup at softdd.com and use the on/off button to toggle BHO's off. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:

File type:

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, papim.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 papim.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.
