What is the process of egui.exe in Windows8 system?

Recently, when I opened the Windows 8 System Task Manager, I found a process I had not seen before, named "egui.exe", which describes the ESET graphic setting interface. What is the process? Is egui.exe a virus? For these questions, the following will give you a one-by-one answer.

1, the basic information egui.exe process:

program makers: ESET? Company

Process Description: ESET Graphic Settings Interface

Process Attributes: Not Windows System Processes

Using Network: No

Boot Status: Anti-Virus with ESET Software startup

2, the origin and role of the egui.exe process:

The egui.exe process program file is from the world-renowned anti-virus software company ESET based in the Slovak Republic. The company is part of anti-virus and anti-virus software such as ESET Smart Security. The main function is to provide a graphical interface (ESET Control Center interface) for ESET anti-virus and anti-virus software and display the ESET notification icon under the taskbar. The egui.exe program is not a program file of the Microsoft Windows system itself. If you see that the egui.exe process is running in the task manager, this means that you have installed ESET anti-virus software and it is working.

ESET's anti-virus software is also used by many users in China. As part of ESET anti-virus software, egui.exe is usually used to help ESET anti-virus defense program to improve the security of Windows system. Therefore, in general, it is not recommended that you terminate the process or delete or modify the program name in its installation location, which will affect the display of the ESET settings interface.

Location: C:Program Files (usually here, but will vary depending on the custom installation)

3. Dangerous egui.exe process:

Unable to create the primary key egui.exe. This problem is most likely caused by the Ghost version of the Windows XP system used by the user when installing ESET NOD32. The cause of the problem may be the registry permissions. After opening the registry, solve the problem that the primary key cannot be created by:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOftwareMicrosoftwindowsNTCurrentVersionImage File Execution Options Click the selected Image File Execution Options item, click the “Edit” menu, and “system”&&quoquo; Administrator”User permissions are set to ';allow”.

4, egui.exe virus:

Any common program is the target of virus Trojan infection, these viruses use the same name to confuse users. If you see multiple egui.exe processes running in the system's task manager, or see egui.exe running without ESET's anti-virus anti-virus software installed, or the program is not installed in your ESET In the directory, and so on, are highly suspicious signs of virus infection. It is recommended that you update the anti-virus software virus library or multiple anti-virus software to replace the computer for full-scale killing.

After reading the above, we will find that egui.exe is a software running process, but some virus Trojans will be the target of infection. After infection, egui.exe becomes a virus process. If you see multiple egui.exe processes running in the background, it is very likely that the egui.exe virus has appeared.
