Is a Unsecapp.exe virus? Should I remove/disable Unsecapp.exe?

  1. Unsecapp.exe is a process also known as Sink to receive asynchronous callbacks for WMI client application.

    It is a software component of the Microsoft Windows operating system, part of the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) subsystem, which helps facilitate communication between a program running on your PC and a remote server.

    Every time a program needs to use WMI, it is automatically launched to organize a channel for synchronizing information between the system and the remote computer.

    In view of the above, it should not be deleted.

  2. In order to determine whether the unsecapp.exe file is genuine or a virus with the same name, you should determine its location.

    The genuine unsecapp.exe file should be located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder (usually C:\Windows\System32\wbem).

    Otherwise, you have a virus that should be removed as soon as possible.

  3. While you can disable the unsecapp.exe service, doing so is not recommended.

    If you do disable the service, you will prevent computers from using WMI when they need to, which will significantly impact operating system performance, as well as hinder the functionality of any third-party applications configured to use WMI programming.
