rudrax Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Not present on my system - do you use Avast?Neither Avast nor any products from Avast. I'm on ESET, and you too know that. Don't think that just because of you couldn't be able to prevent ESET from dialing home, I'll leave it :lol:Terminating that process, no visible effect is seen.

menot Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 It seems a legitimate Windows file."Leave alone - if this program is running it is because Windows started it automatically in order to support a program that is using WMI. WMI, Windows Management Instrumentation, enables software developers to write scripts and programs for the management or querying of devices, user accounts, Windows services, running programs, networking, and many other internal technical aspects of Windows."You can get some information here:http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/unknown-unsecappexe-present-in-wbem-folder/bbfb7189-8ce3-44ec-8d9b-37bd120f852b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownasphyxiated Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 do you enable ccleaner monitoring?CCleaner monitoring will execute that process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captcha Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 do you enable ccleaner monitoring?CCleaner monitoring will execute that processI have Pro version of Ccleaner with monitoring on & there is no trace of this.I searched google heavily and found out that avast uses this service(although it is legitimate service). If you switched from avast to eset then it's most likely is the aftereffect. Avast didnt turned off the exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalju Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Now I found, what it is____________________Unsecapp.exe Description :Sink to receive asynchronous callbacks for WMI client application running in different processes. WMI, Windows Management Instrumentation, enables software developers to write scripts and programs for the management or querying of devices, user accounts, Windows services, running programs, networking, and many other internal technical aspects of Windows - in other words the sort of work TUT does (for example : TUT, The Ultimate Troubleshooter, uses WMI to retrieve all the information that it shows on the System Info tab).This particular task, UNSECAPP.EXE, is started by Windows Vista when a program needs to use WMI programming - it provides programs with a conduit (sink) to receive from Windows the results of their WMI queries and commands.Unsecapp.exe Recommendation :Leave alone - if this program is running it is because Windows Vista started it automatically in order to support a program that is using WMI.

Ballistic Gelatin Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 FWIW, this file has always been present in my running Processes in Windows 7. IIRC, it was also present in Windows XP SP3. Never encountered any issues with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
