easye35 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 It's called Ncpuby.exe. It's using 14,536 Kb memory. It's in my Windows system32 dir, along with some xml file called the same thing. I googled the name and got not even one hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRosenfeld Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 You could try right click on it, click properties, see whether it gives any info (e.g. description, company,...) in the version tab. Also, if you open the.xml file in Notepad or IE, reading that may give a clue as to what the files belong to and what it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamehead200 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Since it doesn't come up on Google, my guess that it's some kind of virus/spyware/adware sort of thing! Better run Ad-Aware and/or Spybot - Search & Destroy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kegobeer Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 That helps:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/r...t.exe-4431.htmlDo as suggested: virus, trojan and adware scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarkar Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think it not a virus... the best way to find out is to google it up.... if it a known virus or something you'll get all info there... try finding where the file is located and see its properties to know who is manufacturer or writer of the file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazzDevil Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 If I were to trouble shoot this i would back up my info then disable the service and see what stops workingbut i do agree it sounds like I.E. spyware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
