Is trustedantivirus.exe safe or is this task spyware?



Purpose of trustedantivirus.exe:









File purpose and description:

TrustedAntivirus.exe is a program which would have been installed by you, or may have even arrived as a drive by install. The actual disk location is also listed below, always verify where its located on your hard drive, as this makes sure it is not spyware or adware simply placed elsewhere on your computer, and using the same name in an attempt to fool you. This program is for a rogue antivirus program, and you will receive popup advertisements attempting to convince you to download more programs related to trusted antivirus scanner (and point you to trustedantivirusscanner.com website or the TrustedAntivirus.exe software), and under NO circumstance should you install this. If you aren't sure what to click with the popup message just press CTRL ALT DEL and terminate your webbrowser as the website you are visiting may be infected with a drive by trogan virus. Action should be taken to remove this file. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:

File type:
This is an exe executable file.

File or folder location:
Scan and find the file, as your entire drive should be checked. Note that just seeing the popup message does not mean you have it as it may be the infected website popping that open.


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, trustedantivirus.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 trustedantivirus.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.
