If while looking in Windows Task Manager, you noticed the igfxpers.exe process running in the background, you may be confused as to what it is, primarily because of its cryptic name. That said, first things first, it’s not a malicious file, so you don’t need to worry about that. This process is from Intel and is installed along with your graphics card drivers on Intel-based chipset motherboards.
S24EvMon.exe is an abbreviation of Spectrum24 Event Monitor which is also known by Wireless Management Service. It’s a component that comes with the Intel Wireless drivers, and is designed to allow the computer to switch back and forth from wireless to wired connections. There are a considerable number of systems that come pre-built with Intel Wireless cards, which makes this particular process fairly common.
SearchProtection.exe is a program developed by Spigot that could be characterised as unwanted, for most computer systems. The purpose of this program is to protect whichever program(s) it’s bundled with, from being modified by other third-party applications. Once it gets onto your computer, it will create an entry within the Windows registry, so that it will be automatically loaded, every time the computer is switched on.
Khalmnpr.exe is a process that belongs to the Logitech SetPoint application which comes bundled with certain Logitech components. This particular file or process is digitally signed, which means it has been verified and tested to work on MS Windows, by Microsoft. To put it simply, Khalmnpr.exe is an integral part of Logitech SetPoint software, which comes bundled with a large number of Logitech mouse and keyboard drivers.
The rthdcpl.exe file is essentially the Realtek audio Control Panel component of Realtek sound cards. If you have one of these cards installed in your system, then you should have this file running on it. Usually the file can be found in its default locations (depending on your OS version).
RAVCpl64.exe is a process, much like Rthdcpl.exe that belongs to the audio control component of RealTek’s sound card drivers. This particular process allows you to configure, modify and change the sound card settings via the HD audio control panel, so it’s a pretty important file, depending on how important or unimportant having control over your sound is to you. RAVCpl64.exe is not a dangerous file. The general assumption is that, if the process is present on your computer, then it means you have a RealTek audio device inside your computer.
If you’re reading this article, then it’s safe to assume, that you’re probably wondering what teatimer.exe is, a program or process that you found running the background of your computer. Well let’s get one thing straight, teatimer.exe is not a virus, malware, adware or spyware, in fact, it’s part of an internet security tool called Spybot Search & Destroy. So if you have this tool installed on your computer, then you will more than likely have this process running on the system also.
It’s most likely that you noticed the wmpnscfg.exe process while you were browsing through Windows Task Manager. Wmpnscfg.exe is a Windows Media Player (WMP) process, and since, it’s highly unlikely that you actually use WMP; you’d probably want to know why it’s running. It’s not a process that consumes an awful amount of resources, but it can be rather annoying, when you close it, only for it to restart itself.
