What is msascuil.exe?

Ask a question
Originally, msascuil.exe is a software component of Windows 10 operating system. Therefore, it's a safe file, and you should not worry about its existence. However, in some cases, malware can use the name of legitimate files or affect them. Hence, if you cannot access your security software and noticed other suspicious activities, such as major system slowdowns, installation of questionable programs, an increased amount of ads or unknown computer errors, you can suspect that your computer is infected.
However, the only way to check whether msascuil.exe is malicious and your computer is infected is to obtain an anti-malware program and run a full system scan. If your current software is blocked, try rebooting the machine to Safe Mode with Networking and accessing it. Update the program if possible, and scan the device. Additionally, you can install other malware removal software when in Safe Mode with Networking and check the system with it.
