PC Pitstop Analysis

Win Patrol

msCMTSrvc.exe - Shipped with some Compaq computers. Accesses the Compaq site every 10 minutes to check for "Hot Deals", which is marketing speak for advertising. Does not pose a threat, but also has no redeeming value. However, this file does not have any vendor or product information, so a malicious file could masquerade itself using the same file name. Shown as the "Content Monitoring Tool Service" in the Windows Services list. See this tech note on the HP/Compaq site.

mscmtsrvc.exe uses excessive system and memory resources with no corresponding benefit. Applications such as these should be disabled to improve overall system performance.
