What is AIRegTool.exe?

What is AIRegTool.exe, and why does my security system generate a warning that it is trying to make a change in my system. 
This only happens if try to open something direct from Windows Explorer, rather than through the program. 
This happened to me this morning, when I already had AI open, and a file I was looking for wasn't showing up in searches.  I found it by browsing around in Windows Explorer, and without thinking, I just double-clicked.  That is when I got the warning that AIRegTool.exe is trying to make changes to you system, do you want to go ahead. 
My computer has very strict security settings, and it's not unusual to get one of these warnings.  It just made me wonder what this exe file does.  Thanks to all who answer here.

    what does ubd.exe and tccd.exe mean in activity monitor?

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

  • What is rundll32.exe?

    hi there
    can anyone tell me what this rundll32.exe is and its function, thank you.

    Joni, I've had java cause errors in rundll32 before. I reported them to the bug database, but since they couldn't be reproduced unless I handed over 35kLOC of company code, the bug was dropped. Turned out that the problem was an infinite recursive call, and that removing an unrelated statement caused an OutOfStackException or something like that to be thrown.

    What is: install_flashplayer11x32axau_mssd_aih.exe? An Adobe popup told me about a new update, Dosen't show up here on the site, but I use Chrome and it updates itself, as verified on this site. Please advise...

    If you have Flash Player independently installed beside Chrome, then you will be notified about available updates.  The file that you mention is the download helper for the Flash Player plugin.

  • What does firefox.exe-application error mean? Firefox wont even open it just says this, and then click okay to terminate the problem.

    When I go to open up Firefox, it does not open no matter what I try It just pops up this box that says Firefox.exe - application error.
    Then it says the Instruction at "0x798377a9" referenced memory at "0x798377a9". The memory could not be "written".
    Click on OK to termintate the program
    What does this mean? And why cant I use Firefox. I can still use internet explorer just fine.

    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; InfoPath.1)

    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 is listen.exe and do i need it?

    this program occasionally crashes, and seems to cause other problems when it does.  I do not use mc3 or the remote that came with the mega 180, and I don't have much use for the lcd display because the 180 is tucked away in a cabinet, and i can't see it.  I DO use MSI Radio Tuner.  Can I remove listen.exe without giving up anything?

    Mmmmm, maybe listen.exe is responsible of displaying stuff on the LCD. Imagine the situacion: Media Player connects to listen.exe via a local socket and sends the information that must be displayed on the LCD. Then, listen.exe receives that information and sends it to the lcd. In that situation, we should discover that protocol to GAIN THE CONTROL OF THE LCD!!
    Yes, maybe I'm just dreaming!    But... what if...
    Let's research a little.

  • What is Acrobat_com.exe and why is it on my computer?

    I installed updates for Acrobat Reader, Flash, and Shockwave.  Even though I did not ask for Acrobat_Com.exe or Air to be installed on my computer, they were.  I expect this kind of crap from less reputable companies, but not Adobe.  It wasn't bad enough that you advertized Adobe Air while I was installing the other products, but then you had to install it even though I expressly chose NOT to install it?
    If you want me to try some product, tell me about it and why I would want it.  But I have way too much unasked for crap already to have it be installed during the installation of another product - WITHOUT EVEN BEING TOLD ABOUT IT.
    So here is the question: What EXACTLY is Acrobat_com.exe and is it required for Reader, Flash or Shockwave in any way or was it just installed so that some markerting **** at Adobe could get a promotion?

    I have also installed flash player, adobe reader, shockwave and A

  • 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).

  • What about aerender.exe?

    Hi! This is not a question but a suggetsion. Maybe some others have made it and maybe it's silly or something but I think it's something important.
    Once a friend (after fx user) told theres was a little piece of software called aerender.exe that allowed you to make renders outside after fx and thus you could keep working on the program at the same time, and it also didn't consume as much memory while working. It was like making the render through a DOS window. This soft is inside after fx folder in program files.
    He explained me how to use it but it was no use. I can't program DOS and since any mistake would make it fail, it was quite hard to prepare the renders in aerender.exe.
    So, my question is:
    Since this render program is so useful, fast and memory low; how is it that afterfx doesnt include an option to trhow the renders through this soft separately so we don't have to write in DOS? something like preparing your render queue in afterfx and the launching it in aerender?
    that's what I wonder.
    thanks for reading
