Is vplus.exe safe or is this task spyware?



Purpose of vplus.exe:









File purpose and description:

VPlus.exe was most likely installed by you at some time. This software program would not have been on your computer when you purchased it. Spyware and virus programs often use the same or similiar file names and store them elsewhere in different folders on your computer, hoping to fool you into thinking it is a safe file. We always try to list the exact file location of each file here for this reason. This VPlus.exe software file is from ICQ. ICQ is a well known chat program that is similiar to AIM or Yahoo messenger, but also has a community of things besides chat. This is a freeware skin manager for ICQ, it is considered safe and is not virus or spyware related software. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
vplus.exe

File type:
This is an executable program.

File or folder location:
This file will be found on your hard drive at C:\Program Files\ICQPlus\vplus.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, vplus.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 vplus.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.
