What is AddInProcess.exe and How to Delete it ? ( High CPU & RAM, GPU Usage)

Updated November 2022: Here are three steps to using a repair tool to fix exe
problems on your computer: Get it at this link

 1. Download and install this software.
 2. Scan your computer for exe problems.
 3. Repair the exe errors with software tool




WHAT IS PINST.EXE?

pinst.exe is an executable file that is part of the InternetFax program
developed by InternetFax Company. The software is usually about 12.17 MB in
size.

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 pinst.exe file on your computer is a virus or trojan
horse that you should delete, or whether it is a valid Windows operating system
file or a reliable application.

Recommended: Identify pinst.exe related errors
(optional offer for Reimage - Website | EULA | Privacy Policy | Uninstall)

 




IS PINST.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.
For example, a process like pinst.exe should run from C:\Program
Files\InternetFax V7.6\BuMAppNT.exe and not elsewhere.

To confirm, open the 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 pinst.exe:

 * Located in C:\Program Files\InternetFax V7.6\ subfolder;
 * Publisher: InternetFax Company
 * Full Path: C:\Program Files\InternetFax V7.6\BuMAppNT.exe
 * Help file:
 * Publisher URL: www.pangea-comm.com
 * Known to be up to 12.17 MB in size on most Windows;
   

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

Find its location (it should be in C:\Program Files\InternetFax V7.6\) 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 pinst.exe virus, you should download and
install a full security application like Malwarebytes. 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
pinst.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 PINST.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.

According to various sources online, 1% of people remove this file, so it may be
harmless, but it is recommended that you check the trustworthiness of this
executable yourself to determine if it is safe or a virus. The best diagnosis
for these suspicious files is a complete system analysis with Reimage. If the
file is classified as malicious, these applications will also delete pinst.exe
and get rid of the associated malware.

However, if it is not a virus and you need to delete pinst.exe, then you can
uninstall InternetFax from your computer using its uninstaller, which should be
located at: "C:\Program Files\InternetFax V7.6\unins000.exe". If you cannot find
it's uninstaller, then you may need to uninstall InternetFax to completely
delete pinst.exe. You can use the Add/Remove Program function in the Windows
Control Panel.

 * 1. In the Start menu (for Windows 8, right-click the screen's bottom-left
   corner), click Control Panel, and then under Programs:
   o Windows Vista/7/8.1/10: Click Uninstall a Program.
   o Windows XP: Click Add or Remove Programs.

 * 2. When you find the program InternetFax, click it, and then:
   o Windows Vista/7/8.1/10: Click Uninstall.
   o Windows XP: Click the Remove or Change/Remove tab (to the right of the
   program).

 * 3. Follow the prompts to remove InternetFax.

 



 

 


COMMON PINST.EXE ERROR MESSAGES

The most common pinst.exe errors that can appear are:


• "pinst.exe Application Error."
• "pinst.exe failed."
• "pinst.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience."
• "pinst.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
• "pinst.exe is not running."
• "pinst.exe not found."
• "Cannot find pinst.exe."
• "Error starting program: pinst.exe."
• "Faulting Application Path: pinst.exe."

These .exe error messages can occur during the installation of a program, during
the execution of it's associate software program, InternetFax, during the
startup or shutdown of Windows, or even during the installation of the Windows
operating system. Keeping a record of when and where your pinst.exe error occurs
is important information when it comes to troubleshooting.

 




HOW TO FIX PINST.EXE

A clean and tidy computer is one of the best ways to avoid problems with
InternetFax. 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 pinst.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.
