What does gtbcheck.exe do?

I use Comodo Internet Security and while updating my Flash player, the process gtbcheck.exe was flagged by the Behaviour Blocker/auto-sandbox as suspicious or unknown and was isolated. The updating appears to have worked but I wonder what this process is.
I believe the gtb stands for Google Tool Bar. The gtbcheck runs during updating or installing Adobe Flash and checks for the presence of the toolbar. If you have not deselected the option to install the Chrome Browser and the toolbar, they will be installed if not already present. Is this accurate?
I always deselect the option myself since I don't want Chrome or the toolbar.

Yes it is a check to see if you have Google Toolbar (a nasty piece of software - I never use it myself).

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
They will always have the latest Flash Player builds and NO bundled software. Whenever you see an "update" notice, download the installer from the link(s) and run it (them) offline to update. MUCH safer and hassle free.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • What does java.exe do if double pass same classpath to it?

    By default, java.exe loads rt.jar as default classpath.
    if user explicitly passes rt.jar as classpath in command line to java.exe again, does java.exe load rt.jar twice or only once?
    Loading same classpath twice is slower than only once - i need the answer for speeding my application.

    By default, java.exe loads rt.jar as default
    classpath.Not correct. rt.jar is not loaded "as default classpath." It should not be listed on the classpath, as it WILL BE searched, and WILL slow down the tools.
    The classpath is used by javac.exe and java.exe (and other tools) to locate your (the user) .java and .class files that they require.
    Read these topics to learn how the classpath works and how to use it correctly:

  • Firefox locks up and runs plugin-container.exe -- I don't start it and can't stop it. What does it do and can I stop it?

    On some irregular intervals, plugin-container.exe suddenly starts, and takes command. Task Manager suddenly goes to 100% CPU usage and I am blocked from continuing. i.e., dead in the water for a few minutes.
    Questions:
    What does it do?
    Why does it start?
    Can I remove it?
    Can I stop it?

    Plugin_container.exe is an integral part of Firefox and acts like a kind of sandbox to isolate plugins which have crashed. See [[What is plugin-container]]
    You mentioned in your system details that you're running Windows XP SP2. I'd recommend you install Service Pack 3 since Microsoft addressed a large number of issues in that service pack. You'll also need to have it installed to obtain current patches and Windows Silverlight which is similar to Flash. You can get SP3 from the Microsoft Windows Update site, link on your Start menu.

  • "itunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found" "The procedure entry point_dispatch_queue_attr_concurrent could not be located in the dynamic link library libdispatch.dll."???? What does this mean?

    I simply wanted to update my itunes and this is now the error message I get and can't access or even log into itunes or itunes store.
    "itunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found" "The procedure entry point_dispatch_queue_attr_concurrent could not be located in the dynamic link library libdispatch.dll."???? What does this mean?
    Anyone have a solution?

    This error has the same pattern as those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find libdispatch.dll in the one of the following folders:
         C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    Delete it and then repair Apple Application Support from the control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild as outlined in the second box.

  • Apple application was not found, apple application support is required to run ituneshelper. please uninstall itunes and install itunes again error 2. What does this mean?

    apple application was not found, apple application support is required to run ituneshelper. please uninstall itunes and install itunes again error 2. What does this mean?

    You can try installing 7-Zip (free), then right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file to unpack its contents, and install AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. It may still not install successfully, but if it doesn't you may get a more useful error message regarding the reason why.

  • Every time I try to run iTunes I get an error message sayinh: An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime incorrectly. What does this mean

    Every time I try to run iTunes I get an error message sayinh: An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime incorrectly. What does this mean

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

  • How does java.exe behave if I only use -Xmsn option?

    Hi,
    if I only set the -Xmsn option and do not set -Xmxn option when I launch my Java application, how does java.exe behave? Does the heap will automatically grow like what Bea's JRockit does when my application requires more memory?
    I use JDK 5.0.
    Thanks for your help!

    If your application needs the space, the JVM will grow the heap up to the
    default value of -Xmx. Note that it will run a garbage collection cycle before
    expanding the heap, and it may take a few or several cycles to expand to
    the -Xmx value. How fast or slow it expands depends somewhat on the
    behavior of your application (how much it allocates and how long the
    objects live).
    The default value of -Xmx depends on the platform; see
    http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc5.0/ergo5.html.
