Odd Proccess in Task Manager


Recommended Posts

I opened Windows 8.1 Task Manager and saw a process I never saw.

 

In Task Manger it's listed as:

utcsvc

 

In Services it's listed as:

Diagnostic Tracking Service

 

I searched the web and I found it has to do with Anti-Virus software.

 

I never noticed this until I installed the newest version of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Free 2.1.6.1022.

 

Is this a part of the new version??

 

Thanks,

James

Hi:
 
Welcome back.
 
Nope, AFAIK that's not part of MBAM.
Rather, it sounds as if it may be related to a recent MS Windows Update (KB 3022345)?

If you'd like more help sorting this out, it would assist us to see a bit of basic system info. :)

Please read the following and attach to your next reply the 3 requested logs - Diagnostic Logs (the 3 logs are: FRST.txt, Addition.txt and CheckResults.txt)
