File purpose and description:
This SeaPort.exe software file may have arrived as preinstalled software on your computer. Be sure to verify the actual hard drive location and folder which is listed below for you, as spyware, adware, or virus writers often use the same file name and locate the file in a different folder. This SeaPort.exe file is from Microsoft, and it is part of the Microsoft search enhancement pack. It is a Windows software application and it will be found in the Microsoft folder as shown below. This file is considered safe and is not virus or spyware related. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)
Actual file or task name:
seaport.exe
File type:
This is an executable file.
File or folder location:
This program is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Search Enhancement Pack\SeaPort\SeaPort.exe
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, seaport.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 seaport.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.
