What is fsg_4104.exe? Should I remove it?

fsg_4104.exe – a part of adware that should be removed from your PC immediately

fsg_4104.exe is an executable file, which means that it might either be running in the background as a process on a Windows machine or simply reside in a certain folder. This particular EXE file is related to iMesh file-sharing platform developed by Gator. This application is considered to be potentially unwanted or even malicious due to its spyware-like capabilities to spy on users' online activities and report them back to a particular server.

In most cases, you would not bother with various EXE files that are stored on your Windows PC unless they start causing trouble. To be precise, some background processes might start causing high CPU or other computer resource usage. While not always, this may be an indication of an infection.

You likely saw the fsg_4104.exe when security software detected it on your computer. If so, you should not think twice about it and remove the file and/or a related application. If in doubt, perform an additional scan with different antivirus. 

Spyware is considered to be unwanted in the best case and malicious in the worst case – it all depends on how severe its operations are. Some such programs are designed to send out anonymous data in the background (even though if that is performed without consent, it is still considered to be illegal activity). Nevertheless, if you allow the adware to run in the background, it may:

  • Change your search provider and homepage
  • Connect to potentially dangerous HTTPs in the background
  • Harvest and transfer personal information
  • Record keystrokes, and much more.

If that is not the case, you should always upload unknown files to services such as Virus Total – the file can be analyzed by several engines simultaneously and provide a good indication of whether it is malicious or not.
