File purpose and description:

This is a file from Microsoft and it is your Windows Media Player. This is used to play videos, audio files, MP3 files, WMA files, etc. The Windows Media Player is not required but is a nice program to have, as almost everyone wishes to play videos and audio files. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Actual file or task name:
wmplayer.exe

File type:
This is an executable file.

File or folder location:
You can find wmplayer.exe in your Windows Media Player folder, in your program files directory path.

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, wmplayer.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 wmplayer.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.
