What is pep.exe ?

[Valerian]

Good day.

The Hijack this I assess as extremely offensive (extremely nasty) running process C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ pep.exe. What process is involved? Is it a spyware? In Task Manager, it is active as pep.exe user.

Google says:

WARNING: The information we have indicates that the pep.exe process is directly associated with the Troj / Zlob-AQH Trojan and should be considered a serious security threat.

The pep.exe Trojan (or sometimes referred to as a Trojan horse) is a malicious software program that can perform a number of undisclosed functions on your computer without your knowledge, for example:

* Allow complete access to your computer without your authorization / knowledge
* Destroy / corrupt data on your system
* Steal private information (IE emails / passwords / credit card information)
* Sending spam emails from your computer without your knowledge
* Denial-of-service attacks (DOS) on internet websites

Trojans are commonly spread through e-mail attachments, chat rooms or received / downloaded files that give the impression they are actually something else.

I suggest you update or replace your anti-virus software immediately and perform a complete system scan.

Hi,

And In addition, if you know where it is located, so why would it look? Finish the process in Task Manager and erase it directly in the folder.
