  • THREATrating from user milev for file C:\Windows\SysWOW64\igfxupdate.exe (Variant: 15901300)

    if it was an Intel product. why it is hiding itself from task-manager? and if so, is Intel so stupid to produce such CPU consuming updater?, what type of information this program is trying to download (or upload) that is more CPU consuming than an online 3d game? obviously it is a Threat, and i hope it is not an Intel product.
