WHAT IS DOSEXEC.EXE?

preview developed by Computer Literacy. The Windows 95 95 version of the
software: 1.0.0.0 is usually about 41744 bytes in size, but the version you have
may differ.

The .exe extension of a file name displays an executable file. In some cases,
executable files can damage your computer. Please read the following to decide
for yourself whether the DOSEXEC.EXE file on your computer is a virus or malware
that you should delete, or if in fact it is a valid Windows operating system
file or reliable application.

IS DOSEXEC.EXE SAFE, OR IS IT A VIRUS OR MALWARE?

The first thing that will help you determine if a particular file is a
legitimate Windows process or a virus, is the location of the executable itself.
With DOSEXEC.EXE for example, it's path will probably be something like
C:\Program Files\Computer Literacy\Windows 98 New Features - A
preview\DOSEXEC.EXE

To determine it's path, open Task Manager, go to View -> Select Columns and
select "Image Path Name" to add a location column to your Task Manager. If you
find a suspicious directory here, it may be a good idea to investigate this
process further.

Another tool that can sometimes help you detect bad processes is Microsoft's
Process Explorer. Start the program (it does not require installation) and
activate "Check Legends" under Options. Now go to View -> Select Columns and add
"Verified Signer" as one of the columns.

If the "Verified Signer" status of a process is listed as "Unable to Verify",
you should take a moment look at the process. Not all good Windows processes
have a Verified Signature label, but neither do any of the bad ones.

The most important facts about DOSEXEC.EXE:

If you had any difficulties with this executable, you should determine if it's
trustworthy before deleting DOSEXEC.EXE. To do this, find this process in Task
Manager.

Find its location and compare the size etc with the above facts.

If you suspect that you may be infected with a virus, then you must attempt to
fix it immediately. To delete the DOSEXEC.EXE virus, you must download and
install a full security application like this. Note that not all tools can
detect every type of malware, so you may need to try several options before
you're successful.

In addition, the functionality of the virus may itself affect the deletion of
DOSEXEC.EXE. In this case, you must enable Safe Mode with Networking - a secure
environment that disables most processes and loads only the most required
services and drivers. When there, you can run a security program and a complete
system analysis.

 

 


CAN I REMOVE OR DELETE DOSEXEC.EXE?

You should not delete a safe executable file without a valid reason, as this may
affect the performance of any associated programs that use that file. Be sure to
keep your software and programs up to date to avoid future problems caused by
corrupted files. With regard to software functionality issues, check driver and
software updates more often, so there is little or no risk of such problems
occurring.

either ASR Pro or this antivirus and malware remover. If the file is classified

HOW TO FIX DOSEXEC.EXE

A clean and tidy computer is one of the best ways to avoid problems with
DOSEXEC.EXE. This means performing malware scans, cleaning your hard disk with
cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs you no longer need, monitoring
any auto-start programs (with msconfig), and enabling automatic Windows updates.
Don't forget to always make regular backups or at least define recovery points.

If you have a bigger problem, try to remember the last thing you did or the last
thing you installed before the problem. Use the resmon command to identify the
processes that are causing your problem. Even in case of serious problems,
instead of reinstalling Windows, you should try to repair your installation or,
in the case of Windows 8, by executing the command DISM.exe /Online
/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth. This allows you to repair the operating system
without data loss.

To help you analyze the DOSEXEC.EXE process on your computer, you may find the
following programs useful: Security Task Manager displays all Windows tasks
running, including built-in hidden processes such as keyboard and browser
monitoring or auto-start entries. A single security risk rating indicates the
probability that it is spyware, malware or a potential Trojan horse. This
anti-virus detects and removes spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and
trackers from your hard disk.
