    About Python.exe ?
    « on: September 17, 2006, 10:31:38 PM »
    I noticed this file Python.exe in the task Manager for the first time while observing the processes of a P4 Laptop. Is it some spyware program ? I tried to google it but couldnt get more info & was referred to download some Wintasks or some Registry programs which i wouldnt prefer. So, pls let me know if i could detect & remove it by any means?

        Thanks but i already read that on that site. But my question is why did i find it all of a sudden on my laptop when i didnt download anything ? ... like, i usually monitor the Processes in the task manager when i usually start the laptop as to see what would consume memory & never before found this Python.exe. How do i wipe it off from my laptop ? .. any idea pls ?

        Uninstall it from the Add/Remove software menu?

        It may have come with a program you installed or been installed by the laptop manufacturer.

          that is true what raptor said, it may have already come with the rest of the crap that the manufactures like to pump into their laptops. i hate all that junk. my advcie for future reference is to format the hardrive yourself and install what you want, not useless junk that takes up space and that you will never use. also, its alot safer knowing what is installed on your comp.

          just try add/remove programs. it should be there, if not we can try something else.
