Is jqsnotify.exe a system threat?

However, many malware programs, such as virus, worm, spyware, and trojan give their processes similar names as legitimate processes. For instance, it is possible that a malware may place a rogue process with the name jqnotify.exe, jqssnotify.exe, or jqqsnotify.exe on your computer to escape detection. If you suspect a rogue process is running on your computer, we recommend you to go through your current processes and see if any unsolicited process is running.

In case you do find an unsolicited process running, we recommend you run a malware scan of your entire system, using robust antimalware tools, such as Antivirus Plus and StopZilla to delete all traces of the rogue process from your computer. Follow up with a registry cleanup with the help of a reliable tool, such as RegGenie, to ensure no malware registry entry is left behind.
