Solve : bgsvcgen.exe WHAT IS IT? A VIRUS??

Answer»

Hi,

I see a process called bgsvcgen.exe in the task manager and it's labelled as a system process.

It's supposedly B's Recorder GOLD LIBRARY General Service file associated with B.H.A. Corporation, which seems to be a legitimate program, but the fact is, I have NEVER installed anything by B.H.A. Corporation and this process can be terminated manually but appears on normal reboot.

And I have seen reports of a virus of same name. What should I do? I can post HJT log if needed.

I have Sophos Antivirus, Windows Defender and PC Tools Spyware Doctor Starter Edition actively checking my computer and so far, they're not picking up anything serious.

Any input? Thanks!!B's Recorder GOLD Library General Service (bgsvcgen) http://www.systemlookup.com/O23/377-bgsvcgen_exe.html

Program FAQ page. http://www.bha.co.jp/en/support/index.htmlI read bgsvcgen.exe is installed in conjunction with TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX Authoring. I have that program installed and I use it. So hpefully that's the case and not a virus It looks to be safe. I couldn't find anything bad on it.thanks!When you find suspicious files you can easily check them to see if they are malicious or not.

How to scan suspicious filesThanks. Well, I got virustotal to use. They've got the program that you can send file to so they can do the scanning. It's like their website but straight from wndows.

Anyhow, I have sophos antivirus provided by school and school network is protected by it and I trust it's good.VirusTotal is an excellent resource! Besides being informative if you scan a file that isn't yet been identified then they will alert all of the VENDORS who participate. Therefore getting the bad files included in the next updates to the antivirus software. Good stuff!the thing I like about virustotal is that it gives multiple opinions so if majority opinions say it's a virus, it's most likely a virus and not a false positive. so that's GOOD!!
