Name:
Microsoft Server Applacations
Filename:
Q8See.exe
Command:
Q8See.exe
Description:
Added by a variant of the WIN32.RBOT worm and IRC backdoor.
File Location:
%System%
Startup Type:
This startup entry is started automatically from a Run, RunOnce, RunServices, or RunServicesOnce entry in the registry.
%System% is a variable that refers to the Windows System folder. By default this is C:\Windows\System for Windows 95/98/ME, C:\Winnt\System32 for Windows NT/2000, or C:\Windows\System32 for Windows XP/Vista/7.
It is assumed that users are familiar with the operating system they
are using and comfortable with making the suggested changes. BleepingComputer.com will not
be held responsible if changes you make cause a system failure.
This is NOT a list of tasks/processes taken from Task Manager or the Close Program window (CTRL+ALT+DEL) but a list of startup applications, although you will find some of them
listed via this method. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL identifies programs that
are currently running - not necessarily at startup.
Therefore, before ending a task/process via CTRL+ALT+DEL just because
it has an "X" recommendation, please check whether it's in MSCONFIG or
the registry first. An example would be "svchost.exe" - which doesn't
appear in either under normal conditions but does via CTRL+ALT+DEL. If
in doubt, don't do anything.
