File purpose and description:

winactive.exe is an executable program file. Always check the file location which is shown below, as this is a way to verify you have the correct file.

This winactive.exe file is a well known spyware software that can change browser settings, hijack homepages, hijack search engine routing, and cause popups on your computer. Action should be taken to remove this program. As always, run a good antivirus software program or a good spyware remover to help keep your system cleaned up.

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, winactive.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 winactive.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.
