Your options are "I now know whether it's malware or legit" and "I still don't know whether it's malware or legit". I cannot tick either box because that is not why I came to your site. I know patchup.exe is part of my antivirus, 360TS. I want to know WHAT IT WAS DOING, AND WHY. I ran for about 3 or 4 minutes and totally froze my system, including Task Mgr - so I couldn't even kill it.
