    Is LAUNCHER.EXE a threat?

    I have done a search of this Forum and can't find anything about it, but a Google search turns up a fair bit some says remove it others say it can be a legit
    part of some programs/software.

    Doesn't appear to be causing any problems.

    Thanks for any help.

    OK, I have installed Ad Aware 2007 and run a scan of all drives, identified a couple of things, can't recall names but none were identified as Launcher.exe, all were very short names.

    I deleted them and everything appears to be ok, can't find any reference to launcher.exe.

    Computer seems to be working as normal.

    Launcher was initially found while doing a search for an article on I had saved on Launches (Boats).

    Article is still there but the Launch.exe file has gone.

    Might have to try and do something about this Paranoiarolleyes

    Thanks for the reply.
