    Unwanted program
    « on: November 02, 2008, 10:39:26 PM »
    Has anyone heard of an unwanted program called PrcViewer?  It has popped up in my WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\PRCOCESS.EXE.

      I was not sure if I should delete it or not because ever since I put in a new security system on my computer I have been having problems with the computer not connecting with my printer program.  I think it thinks it's an unwanted program and I thought this PrcViewer might have something to do with it.  If you think it is a trojan though then I need to delete it.

      It may or may not be legit...have you recently ran the SmitFraud Removal tool ? ?

      I would travel to our Virus and Spyware section and follow These Instructions for posting the logs.

      Malware removal is best left to the Experts.

      PrcView: http://www.teamcti.com/pview/prcview.htm is a legit program, which actually doesn't require installation, so it resides wherever you put it.
      PrcViewer, which creates PRCOCESS.EXE file located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder is a malware.
      So, in any case, follow patio's advice.
