Virus?

[flaviofornazier]

Hi all!

When I invoke taskmgr I see a process called "crack.exe 32". That's ok?

Thank you in advanced.

It means that there is a process called crack.exe. This program is not part of Wine, so you probably installed it yourself.
You can run the following command to show all running exe files with their location:

Code: Select all

ps aux | grep '\.exe'

To be fair, I think this is a virus / malware and I recommend to run a virus scanner on this file and remove it.

From what I read on the net, this is either a virus or piece of software that is used to get around licensing requirements. It is an .exe so I would think it's probably the virus version.

Thank you very much for your usefull information Mr.Jkfloris and Mr.fargodwe, as a newbie, that was exactly what I wanted to know, if that program was part of Wine. I found the file on the user temp folder and delete it.
