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.

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.

A new process just suddenly appearing in your Windows Task Manager can be somewhat worrying, especially if you’re at least vaguely aware of the programs that typically run in the background. Is the unsecapp.exe process safe? It’s interestingly named, to say the least, but is it a malicious file or just a normal part of the operating system?
The purpose of the alg.exe file is to allow applications, such as IM client software, FTP and Torrent applications to establish a connection between two computers using passive TCP/UDP ports over a server. This enables the user to access files and applications off another system, even if that system is protected by a firewall. Without this particular file, the security protocols would block all communication ports, forcing the end user to manually open available ports, which would leave the system vulnerable to malicious files and hackers.
