setup.exe task purpose and description:

This Setup.exe file is a software app that most likely was installed by you. The actual disk location of this file is also listed below to verify this is not malware or virus related. The purpose of this file can vary greatly, as it is a common name used by many software vendors for installing new software or updates. Setup.exe and install.exe are names used for software updates and software installs and even for patching various sofware modules. Be aware that this name could apply to alot of program tasks and may not just be limited to one company or task. This software name is commonly used and will show in tasklist or startup list, so the next time you restart your computer it will finish the installation. This file is considered safe but be aware its a commonly used name. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

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, setup.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 setup.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.
