Windows 10: apphostregistrationverifier.exe and suspect activity

I am seeing apphostregistrationverifier.exe being contacted or contacting IP addresses that are registered to a Company in China 40.72.124.X. Unless Microsoft owns this range now, my question is how do I find out how this app is configured and are there logs I can look at? I have researched this app and can't find anything about how it works or troubleshooting. Any help is appreciated.

Suspected infection in AppData\Roaming\.exe

Original title: AppData\Roaming\.exe

Can someone tell me what this is?

• C:\Users\knenina\AppData\Roaming\522001c91a0ba0c96d004d78\522001c91a0ba0c96d004d78.exe

My Antivirus said Application.Downloader.AAB (Suspected infection) but then it also says

"Cannot open file" error occurred: The "Cannot open file" error message means that the scanner was unable to open a file and that this file was not scanned. You can normally ignore this error message as there are many reasons for this message
that do not imply a security threat, including:

• The file was a system file. System files are protected by the operation system by design. You can ignore this message in this case.
  
• You do not have permission to read the file. To scan the file, log in with a user account with sufficient permissions (for example the computer's administrator account) and rescan.
  
• The file was in use by an application when the scan was performed. To scan this file, close all applications and rescan.

Said I have to manually remove i'm unsure how to do that exactly.

Or is this a valid file? This just appeared today.

 

Suspecting remote mouse activity on Windows 10.

Hello Kimberly,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• Does the mouse pointer move around on the desktop when mouse is kept still?
• What is the make and model of the device?

The mousepad will blink if any activities is being carried on the system which indicates the device is working as it should.



If you suspect any unusual activities, I suggest you to run Windows Defender software on the PC and check if any malware is detected.

What kind of quad.

I suspect you are at "the edge" of the power rating for the mainboard. Perhaps Q6600 wasnt listed due to TWO versions, C3 stepping at 105W and G0 stepping at 95W. Furthermore, if you OC the G0 Q6600 then it will use more than 95W. Since Q9300 is on a 1333 buss, then perhaps the BIOS doesnt give you scope to OC it, keeping it well withing the 95W envelope.

My suggestion is, if the mainboard is important to you and you dont want to blow the power regulators or caps, to NOT OC the Q6600. Take the thing out of design spec (by OC'ing it) and you may very well rapidly reduce the half-life of your board.

Also, as erocker suggests, there are 65W quads out now. I think those are better suited to this mainboard.

Good luck.
