I'm trying to do an unscientific survey of whether or not the file NetSvc.exe could be malware

[Guest Spin]

Gurus,

 

I'm trying to do an unscientific survey of whether or not this file

(NetSvc.exe) could be malware or worse: C:\Program

Files\Intel\NCS\Sync\NetSvc.exe.

It's an executable file, of course it could be malware!

 

....but what is worse than malware?
