winmplayer.exe task purpose and description:

This program is known as the virus called Worm.Rbot-MV. This virus is easy to recognize, as it try's to imitate the same name as the windows media player, hoping to confuse you so you do not recognize it and think its a media player. (wmplayer.exe is the name of the other). This is called a worm because it spreads over a network. This most likely arrived on your system without your approval, and if you try to delete or remove this virus you may find it difficult. Any of the latest virus programs should find and remove this rbot worm without any trouble. (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, winmplayer.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 winmplayer.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.
