File purpose and description:
The name of this program is known by "Adware.SurfSideKick". The main purpose of this file is do display pop-up advertisements to you (it also has multiple other files in the same folder), and it will also communicate with an external server to download popup program information. This dll file is considered adware or spywaer and should be removed or deleted if you do not want this annoying ads. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)
Actual file or task name:
sskbho.dll
File type:
This is an dll program
File or folder location:
This is located on your hard drive at C:\Program Files\SurfSideKick 2\SskBho.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, sskbho.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 sskbho.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.
