There are hundreds of malicious programs that use names of legitimate processes in order to hide their presence on computer. Services.exe is one of such files. According to experts, it may be used by the browser hijacker, which is known as CoolWebSearch.xpsystem, Anits, NS Keylogger, WALI, Clickbank, Replace, Rontokbro and other dangerous cyber infections. Once installed on the system, it becomes responsible for launching parasites, loading main components of malicious programs and running a destructive payload. However, it may also work on its own in the background of the system and perform its own harmful actions.
