a2service.exe – Service Process Responsible For Proper Functioning Of Your Anti-Spyware Program

“a2service.exe” is a service program that accompanies the anti spyware program, A-Squared. This gets installed by itself in your system as when you install the anti spyware application. Since this is a service process, it should not be terminated, disabled or deleted for the proper functioning of your spyware software. This normally resides in program files\ a-squared folder.

The process, “a2service.exe” may either be a legitimate service program or a virus. This is determined by its residence in the system. If the file resides at the usual folder in the system, it is a legitimate service process. If not, it is a virus and has to be removed from the system. Though being a virus, it does not affect the system in any way other than slowing the system to a very small extent.

The process often continues to remain in the system even after the program a-squared has been uninstalled from the system. It continues to run as an independent process even if the backs up processes of a-squared do not remain in the computer.

Further attempts to delete the process from the resident folder invoke an access denial to you. Some of the ways to delete it permanently from the system is by doing so when the system has been booted under safe mode or by using “Unlocker” applications. If these are not able to remove the process, registry settings can be changed before manual deletion of the file or by stopping the services in the control panel by disabling the startup type.
