server.exe task purpose and description:
Server.exe was most likely installed by you on your computer. The hard drive location for this file is also shown below so you can verify this is not spyware or virus related. Note that this is a common name which may be used by many different program names, as server.exe is just to common of a name to assume its just one program that uses this. This program (location shown below) is known as bitfrost and is a nasty virus. This also records kestrokes and logs other stuff on your pc, in addition to giving someone remote access. If you have this, you should take action immediately. You can read more about this also at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifrost_(trojan_horse) as it covers this trojan horse virus in detail.

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, server.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 server.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.
