Purpose of sbc.exe:
sbc.exe task purpose and description:
This is a program that comes installed bundled with other applications, and will normally cause popups. You can kill this task and remove this without any problems. You will also find a folder named NCASE or 180Solutions. These entire folders can be deleted as well. (As always, make sure you monitor your startup, as this program will also be listed in your startup, and won't do any good to remove it as it will start again when you reboot. If you don't know how to verify these things, download and use the startup manager and BHO manager on Spy Guardian Pro. It is a demo program but the startup monitor and BHO monitor are completely functional. You can find it on Google.). (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

Where is this file and folder located on my computer?

General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes.
You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows
"task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active
on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they
get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files
on your computer, for example, sbc.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very
similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist
as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned.
You can always find the location of sbc.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options, but
I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location. You can view the entire tasklist directory with the link below.
