Sometimes the spyware or virus writers simply place a similar or same named file elsewhere on your computer hoping to fool you into thinking the rogue software is a good software module instead. This PmmUpdate.exe file is from Egis Technologies in Taiwan and it’s called the PMM update application and it’s part of mywinlocker. You can uninstall mywinlocker if you aren’t using it. It comes preinstalled on Windows 7, not sure why all this stuff ends up preinstalled, I had to spend an hour uninstalling stuff when I first got a new computer. When you uninstall mywinlocker you will also see shredder, which is a trial program also that will uninstall. Visit pmmupdate.exe for complete information on this task or process.
