is cltmng.exe virus?

[jacob2013]

I am running Windows 7 on my pc along with Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus software. I noticed that there was a process called 'cltmng.exe' running the background? I looked on the internet for this file but no where I got any information. So, can anyone tell me whether this is a virus or something and if it is then can I remove it with the MSE installed in my machine? Thanks

You can also manually clean that file in your Windows 7 machine. To do that, open Task Manager and end processes for CLTMNG.EXE, CLTMNGSVC.EXE and CLTMNGUI.EXE. Also remove the SearchProtect folder from c:\users\%username%\AppData\Local and AppData\roaming and restart your browser and reset its settings. Also run regedit and remove SearchProtect settings in the local machine and for the current user.
