What is winhelper.exe?

Olivia Morelli Ransomware analyst Published

winhelper.exe is an executable file that is responsible for launching parasites, loading main components of malicious programs and running a destructive payload. It is a significant part of a dangerous parasite, but can also function as a stand-alone threat. DO NOT run this file!
The winhelper.exe file is installed and used by keylogger Backdoor.IRC.Fusion.20.
You are highly advised to scan the system, delete executable winhelper.exe and terminate all the processes it started.
In some cases a presence of winhelper.exe does not mean that your system is infected. The file may actually belong to some fully legitimate applications and therefore must stay intact. If you are in doubt, please scan the winhelper.exe file using you regular spyware remover or antivirus program.
