asked on

what is tirhservice.exe which shows up in my Virus Protection Software Quarantine?

I do have Numara Track-it running on our Network, but it shouldn't be running an exe file on servers for example which the client does not run on. Or perhaps it is part of the Inventory agent, but I cannot find anything that alludes to this on their site. Can someone help with this? I found a lot of links to the possibility that it is malware on the web, and am wondering if I remove this file from C:\Windows will anything bad happen?

We are running Sophos client versions 7 and 9 on our network and several users machines and serves have this file in their Quarantine.

Not one detection and Sophos is included in list. Not sure why its being quarantined :(

Have you contacted Sophos regarding this file being quarantined? It could be down to its configurations-possibly too sensitive or strict?

I'm not sure what else but other experts on server appz may help :)

bonbon1

ASKER

It is being quarantined as suspicious behavior files: HIPS/RegMod-013 because it is trying to update the registry. On some machines it is quarantined and on some it is not.

I suppose if it is quarantined then it is not active anyway and could be removed harmlessly.

?

optoma

I wouldn't remove it yet as unsure. Possibly being flagged as a "false positive".
Have you came accross this Sophos link. You can send the file off to their lab and see what they think

No I will try it. I was on their site and didn't find anything.

This was their answer:
< I also found on the web, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't pretending to be a Track-It service file.>

Thanks for the sample, it appears to be the Intuit Track-It! Remoting Helper Service and is not malicious, you can authorise the file if you wish.
