This is weird and ive never seen it before.
Any ideas please??
Thank You. :frowning:

Well, maybe better to ask at OA forum. :wink:

Have you tried the Emsisoft support forum? They would be my first stop. :slight_smile:

have you run a quick scan with avast and Malwarebytes… just to check?
make sure they are updated before you scan

Hi asyn.
Yes i could do that but i was thinking that this is a general program on my machine that im unaware of.
I dont believe it has anything in particular to do with OA and avast sees nothing suspicious with it.
I would like to know what it is and can i remove it.?
Im guessing it has something to do with a Drive Q which is a protected drive on my computer.
This drive i believe is connected with microsoft office.
But im only guessing.
Thanks. :-[

HI,
yes ive performed full scans with malwarebytes and avast.also with SAS and comodo cleaning essentials.Given the all clear.
It looks legit and i just want to know what the heck it is…lol.

Thanks. :-[

See: Reply #1 & #2…!!
Nothing we can answer/solve. :wink:

Hi Arnold72,

If it was me, I would tell OA to block it until I knew what it was. It may be looking for outgoing internet access, to connect to a server out there somewhere.

Hope you can find an answer at Emisoft.

Just so you know, malware is often installed with random and undecipherable names, so…

hi.
Problem solved.
it seems to be a application which microsoft uses to download updates to the office and excel programs.
I dont use these so ive un installed them and the problem has been resolved.
Many thanks to everyone who has tried to help me here. 8)
