What is Support.exe? Should I remove it?

Support.exe – a process you should carefully examine

Support.exe is an executable file or a background process that could be found running in the background of a Windows machine. Possibly the most common version of the file is the one that belongs to Dell Support software. If that is the case, you should find it located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Dell folder.

However, in some cases, malware can also be disguising behind this process, as hackers often abuse legitimate names for malicious files. It was discovered that the executable might be related to Free Scratch and Win keylogger, which is designed to steal sensitive information from your computer, such as passwords or credit card details.

Name Support.exe
Type Application file for Dell / a keylogger known as Free Scratch and Win
Functionality Provide online support for Dell customers. A Keylogger is designed to steal sensitive information and deliver it to malicious actors
Location C:\Program Files\Common Files\Dell (if legitimate)

Dell software can be uninstalled if so desired

There are thousands of background processes running in the background of your Windows computer. This is nothing uncommon, as the operating system and the applications installed on it needed those components to operate correctly.

Support.exe is a process that is used by Dell software, and it is not unusual to find it on a laptop by this manufacturer. However, many users dislike the pre-installed programs altogether, as they take up space and sometimes engage in unwanted advertisement campaigns.

Therefore, you can remove Support.exe by uninstalling the associated program. To do that, access the Control Panel or Apps and Features section, find the app and select Uninstall.

Delete Support.exe if it is a part of malware

As mentioned above, the process might be related to keylogger malware. This virus might be particularly dangerous, as it operates in the background, usually without providing any signs or symptoms. It can steal any information that is typed, capture screenshots, and record mouse inputs.

Due to this, you might suffer from serious security issues, so you should scan your computer with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or another reputable security software to delete malicious programs from your machine immediately. Also, since the virus might damage your Windows system components, we recommend using complementary software FortectIntego after malware elimination.
