killapps.exe

An AV program--Dr. Web-Cureit--found this file both in my Creative labs directory and also in C:\Windows\system 32

I checked on Google but found nothing definitive. Is this a legit file or a virus?

thank you

 

KillappS.exe is part of the Creative Audigy driver set.

Killapp.exe (no 'S') is likely a trojan.

 

General Tip:

If you find a file that you believe suspicious, there are several sites where you can upload the file and have it professionally examined. Three that I use and like:

• Jotti.org http://virusscan.jotti.org/
• Virus Total: http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
• Kaspersky File Scanner: http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
