daledoc1 Posted July 30, 2012 ID:578285 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi:Try this link:http://blogs.msdn.co...plorer-8-0.aspx(Also, even if one doesn't "use" IE as one's primary browser, it's still needed on Windows systems & it's important to keep it patched and up to date.)I'm sure one of the more expert folks will have some additional insight.In fact, it looks as if Firefox had some info in your recent, similar topic here: http://forums.malwar...ndpost&p=550447HTH,daledoc1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivealive Posted July 30, 2012 Author ID:578286 Share Posted July 30, 2012 thanks for the link dale but i still truthfully dont understand it think you could dumb it down for me because i still dont get why skype needs to run this at all. all i understand is the process is legitimate and is safe (which had me concerned when i first seen it since its odd ) but still confused thanks again though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daledoc1 Posted July 30, 2012 ID:578353 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi, fivealive:Gee, I really wouldn't be able to offer any more info than that which was contained in the links that Firefox and I had provided.It's quite a bit above my pay grade, I'm afraid.There are many, many processes contained within the Windows OS and its various, associated programs, such as IE.I gave up a long time ago trying to intensively research every EXE and DLL file on my computers. Google and -- for EXE files -- processlibrary.com can be quite useful, though.Until one of the real pros has a chance to weigh in, perhaps you might have better luck with this sort of detailed question at a MS forum?Sorry I can't offer any more information,daledoc1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivealive Posted July 30, 2012 Author ID:578440 Share Posted July 30, 2012 its alright and this process doesnt show up in process library its one of the first places i checked. also of note exile posted in the skype thread thats running in nother board that it probly has to do with the gui Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
