Hola.Mi antivirus Panda Pro puso en cuarentena el archivo C:\WINDOWS\system32\SppExtComObjPatcher.exe en cuanto lo detecto pero después de informarme acerca de este archivo continuo con la duda de eliminarlo.Las estadísticas de usuarios que eliminan el archivo y los que deciden conservarlo varian mucho de una pagina a otra.Cuando aquí seria solo un 9% los que optarían por la eliminación hay otra en los que el porcentaje de estos sube al 47%.En otras los porcentajes oscilan entre estos 9 y 47% pero en cualquier caso por amplio o escaso margen son mayoría los que deciden conservarlo.Yo también lo guardare no solo por la estadística favorable a los "conservacionistas"sino porque me da mas seguridad la opinión de quien los conserva porque nadie guarda un archivo del que no tenga la total seguridad de que no se trata un virus mientras que los que lo eliminan lo hacen precisamente por la inseguridad.Movidos por la duda y el"Por si acaso".Aunque entiendo perfectamente a quienes se curen en salud seguramente por alguna vez haber tenido problemas por un virus.Yo lo guardare pero aviso de que por sensaciones no porque sepa del C:\WINDOWS\system32\SppExtComObjPatcher.exe.
Hasta luego.

"Hello. My antivirus Panda Pro quarantined the file C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ SppExtComObjPatcher.exe as soon as I detected it but after informing me about this continuous file with the doubt of eliminating it. The statistics of users that delete the file and the When they decide to keep it they vary a lot from one page to another.When here it would be only 9% those who would opt for the elimination there is another one in which the percentage of these goes up to 47%. In others the percentages oscillate between these 9 and 47% but In any case, by a large or narrow margin, most decide to keep it. I will also keep it not only because of the statistic favorable to "conservationists" but because it gives me more security the opinion of who keeps them because nobody keeps a file that does not have the total certainty that a virus is not treated while those that eliminate it do so precisely because of insecurity. Moved by doubt and "just in case". You will probably be in health for some time having problems with a virus. I will keep it but notice that by sensations not because I know of the C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ SppExtComObjPatcher.exe."
