    Unknown process

    I have a process that has only recently appeared (I haven't installed anything) which is name bixfshw.exe, the description is Domptai and its product name is 'filet'?



    Does anyone know what this process is, or how to stop it starting up.

    I have also ended the process, and nothing happens to my computer, and it all still runs fine.

    Re: Unknown process

    I have stopped the program from automatically starting upon system startup, through hijackthis, as no other program seemed to pick it up. Theres no information about it on the web, and i have research the word domptai, which spanish and is the plural for dompter
    (translation to
    Verb
    dompter
    (transitive) to tame (a wild animal), break in (a horse)
    (transitive) to subdue, suppress (rebellion, uprising, emotions etc.) )

    WORRYING! Theres nothing about it on the internet, and i have tracked its location to in appdata, in the local folder. I am going to change the files name and see what effect this has on my system. If theres no change should i delete the file? Thanks for any help
