  1. Hello! I really appriciate the reply MKDB, after some further investigation using a decompiler I've concluded the application is safe. All API calls, Registry paths, and Assembly Sections consistent with the legitimate executable and show no signs of manipulation so I hope that this thread can serve as a reference for anyone curious about these files. Below I've attatched some extra information about the file just for SEO sake MD5 d0587fbaf5b48c4e02a21d2a843e2783 SHA-1 56dca57e7a952633ce9dbedb7202a073eff76d5e SHA-256 5dcfcea1cab3e808ca45831ade6bab950e190c3c18f47fd7230b85e952f1c4b3 Signers Intel(R) System Usage Report Intel External Issuing CA 7B Sectigo (formerly Comodo CA) https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/5dcfcea1cab3e808ca45831ade6bab950e190c3c18f47fd7230b85e952f1c4b3/detection
  2. I was doing some digging with Sysinternals Autoruns and I came across a scheduled task that executes a vb script called task; after doing some research it seems like its a part of Intel's system usage reports. However, after taking a look at the vbs script I found that it exhibits some really spooky behavior that give's me the impress it is doing something malicious, or something that it doesn't want the user to notice. Located in \Program Files\Intel\SUR\QUEENCREEK\x64 the task.vbs script executes task.bat, which then runs task.exe — seems a little odd to me that legitimate Intel software would use such poor practice. Without going into to much detail I just want to know if you guys think this is something I should be concerned about.
  3. Thank you for the info, this wont impact performance will it?
  4. Windows is convinced my machine is up to date, i'm not sure why
  5. Instantly, there are a very limited number of startup task, all of them essential to the PC
  6. It is sorted from highest to lowest in that picture, that's why I am confused. Nothing is using more than 50mb of ram
  7. I have not had any problems with this PC since it is a fairly recent build, however recently I have noticed excessive memory usage. I have 16GB of RAM in this computer which should have no problem running most applications, but there seems to be something taking up over 12GB of RAM at all times (as soon as the computer is booted up). Task manager is providing no information as to what it is, so I can only guess it is some kind of memory leak. Here is some more information about my computer: GeForce GTX 1070 Intel(R) Core(TM) I5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz 16 GM RAM Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299 Attached you will find images of my task manager while the problem is occurring, at first I assumed the problem was caused by the Anti-malware Service Executable from windows defender, but I no longer believe that is the issue.
