Name of the process or task:
Be sure to always double check your spelling if you are concerned about spyware, as often spyware will use a very similiar spelling of system processes or other common tasks. adperform180safull.exe
File type:

Purpose of this file:
Clearly the name of this file will help you identify it as an advertising related program. This file comes from 180 Solutions (also called Ncase by many), and this file can be considered adware as they distribute many types of ad related programs to advertise to you. If this were on my computer, I would remove this file immediately.
What is the adperform180safull.exe location, where is it stored on my computer?
This file can be found on your disk at C:\Program Files\InetGet\Adperform180safull.exe
Note on file locations:
Remember that although many files are always in default file locations,
some files can easily be moved to different locations or change names like many spyware, adware, or popup programs do. If you
suspect you have spyware or adware, check to see if you see a similiar names stored elsewhere.
It always helps to check your tasklist also to see what is currently running on your computer. You can always view the tasklist
on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view your "task manager", and then click the "processes" tab. This will show you
all tasks running on your computer. Dll files will NOT show on your computer tasklist, as
dll files are actually part of other processes. You may see similiar program names running if spyware or adware
is on your computer, for example, adperform180safull.exe may be slightly misspelled to keep you from finding it, or spyware and adware
may be named very similiar to a system file. Make sure always check the location of tasks or processes if you are concerned.
